Official says man assaulted student

A Fayetteville man has been charged with trespassing at Seventy-First High School and assaulting a teenage student.

Anthony Gonzales, 18, of the 7000 block of Pantego Drive, was charged Tuesday with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, trespassing and bringing a weapon - a steak knife - on campus.

The incident happened on school grounds shortly after 1 p.m., said Debbie Tanna, a spokeswoman for the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.

Gonzales is accused of seeking out a 16-year-old male student following an argument over a girl, Tanna said.

Tanna said Gonzales threatened the student with the knife.

Gonzales does not attend the school and was not supposed to be on campus, according to authorities.

A deputy used a Taser on Gonzales when he became threatening and refused to cooperate, the Sheriff's Office said.

Gonzales was released from the Cumberland County Detention Center on $1,000 bail.
