More details are coming forth in the arrest of a youth from the controversial Bluebonnet Haven Youth Center.

According to a police report, the suspect threatened Officer Andrea Norton with a pipe. Norton reportedly wrestled the youth to the ground and eventually subdued her.
The suspect was charged with Aggravated Assault Against a Public Servant.
Washington County Juvenile Probation instructed police to release the suspect to the facility until her court appearance.
KWHI had been told by police on Thursday, that no information would be released until Monday.
This is terrible, this place has been open all of about 12 seconds (I know it is longer, so pardon the sarcasm) and we are already dealing with escaped criminals who are assaulting police officers. What would have happened had this person encountered an ordinary citizen who was not equipped to subdue them like a professional police officer? This place basically forced itself on our community and we are getting nothing but trouble and the costs of educating the residents of this FOR PROFIT business. They need to be closed now before more crimes happen similar to what happened in Austin County!
Well here we go!!
AMEN!
Told. You. So.
