It all happened Tuesday at Wise High School in Upper Marlboro.

School officials dispute the student's account. They say the girl refused the principal's order to leave a classroom when she was caught using her cell phone in class.

The girl was restrained for her own safety and the safety of others, according to a statement from the Prince George's County Schools.
