Student Arrested in Class Files Claim of Excessive Force.

A 15-year-old Maryland student has charged a school resource officer Marvan Ebrahimzadeh with using excessive force during a classroom arrest in December 2003. Lawyers for the student have argued that school administrators and a school police officer erred when they chose to arrest their client for refusing to obey a teacher when she asked Mr. Ebrahimzadeh to change seats during class on December 10. A spokeswoman for the 47,000-student school district said the student was removed from class by force only after he ignored numerous requests to leave with the assistant principal.
