ANDREWS, SOUTH CAROLINA — A high school student in Andrews, South Carolina could face up to 30 days in jail for throwing a paper airplane that struck his science teacher in the eye. <br /> <br />The incident occurred on January 13th, as Andrews high school science teacher Edward McIver was instructing his class. Instead of paying attention, 17-year-old David Michael Elliott made a paper airplane and threw it at McIver’s direction, South Strand News reported. <br /> <br />Unluckily for all involved, the thing sailed directly into eye; bad timing as he was still recovering from recent ocular surgery. <br /> <br />Elliott was called to a meeting with the vice principal and an administrator, where he confessed throwing the paper airplane, but insisted he had aimed merely for McIver’s head. <br /> <br />But Elliott had already earned a reputation as a troublemaker and was not going to get out of this one so easily - McIver stated he intended to press charges. <br /> <br />Elliott was charged with third-degree assault and battery and released on bond. He is due to appear in court on February 14.
