Six charges have been filed against a parent whose car hit an individual near the Carl Bruce Middle School on April 27.

Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark A. Dupree Sr. charged Tyla Lavelle Jack with aggravated battery, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, aggravated battery, leaving the scene of an accident, criminal threat and battery against a law enforcement officer.

Five of the counts are felonies, and the last one, battery against a law enforcement officer, is a misdemeanor.

According to a police spokesman earlier this week, the incident took place around 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, April 27. It started with a disagreement among a small group of female students at Carl Bruce Middle School, 2100 N. 18th St.

Parents were called, and one parent then was seriously injured when she was struck by a vehicle driven by another parent, police stated. No students were injured.

Jack voluntarily went to the police headquarters and turned herself in on Thursday.
