FraminghamForward
Long story short, a relative of London is autistic and had a physical attack in a Walmart store. The child, age unknown, had to be restrained to the floor by three people, when police arrived they handcuffed the child. The father was on scene, he requested the mother come with proper medications, and she did, eventually, arriving with London.

When the police removed one cuff to attach to the stretcher after paramedics arrived, the boys mother who was just entering the store got irate as moms sometimes do. She yelled according to court documents, "get away from my son. She pushed her way through shoving first responders out of the way. London joined in on the yelling, and both started interfering with the first responders, and both the mother and London found themselves also in cuffs.

London was put into a cruiser, door not closed, and that's where things really got fun. London despite being told to stay in the cruiser she kept trying to get out, then the assault began. The officer was kicked repeatedly in the thigh and groin. Another officer warned her to stop or she would be tased...and being an uncooperative and violent brat, she was.

She continued to be assaultive, she continued to resist arrest, she was arrested, she was not cooperative during the booking process, and eventually she was released on her own recognizance.

HUDSON ? A Framingham Public Schools administrator was arrested Monday and charged with five criminal counts including assault and battery on a police officer after an altercation that was sparked when an autistic boy had a breakdown.

Hudson police charged Inna Kantor London, 44, of 204 Randall Road, Stow, with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, assault and battery on an officer, resisting arrest, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. London is assistant superintendent of human resources in the Framingham Public School District.

"Ms. London does not want to comment on specifics right now. But it was an entirely avoidable situation. She came to the aid of her 17-year-old autistic nephew, who was handcuffed by police and treated like a criminal when he was having a breakdown," said London's lawyer, Tim Bradl, who spoke to the Daily News on her behalf. "Any caring family member would have been angry and upset in those circumstances. It became a very unfortunate situation."

According to a police report filed in Marlborough District Court, an autistic boy was having a physical episode at the Walmart store on Washington Street around 6 p.m. Monday. When Hudson police arrived, they saw three people struggling to hold the boy to the floor in the lobby near the exit of the register aisles. Want news like this sent straight to your inbox?

Eventually, officers stepped in to restrain the boy and placed him in handcuffs for his safety and others, according to the report. The boy's father and paramedics agreed the best solution was to wait for the boy's mother to arrive with "proper medication" as well as to get the boy out of the store and into an ambulance, where there would be less commotion, according to the report, which does not identify the boy.

When the boy was placed on a stretcher to bring him to the ambulance, officers began to remove the handcuffs from behind his back in order to attach them to the side rails of the stretcher. They then heard a woman "yelling from the entrance of the store, 'Get away from my son,'" reads the report.

The boy's mother and London, a relative of the family, came running up to the stretcher yelling, pushing their way between officers, fire personnel, and paramedics to get to the boy, according to the report.

The mother and London were then placed in handcuffs because they refused to stop yelling and would not move out of the way for the paramedics. London was put into the prisoner compartment of a cruiser.

"She (London) continued to be irate and attempted to step out of the cruiser despite orders to stay in," reads the report. "In my efforts (to get London back into the car), Inna began kicking me repeatedly in the upper thigh and groin region."

Another officer then warned London she would be tased if she did not stop kicking and did not get back in the cruiser. She continued to press her foot against the car door and hooked her foot around the officer's leg.

The officer "then applied a 'drive-stun' to the thigh region of her leg. She was then forced into the prisoner compartment, continuing to resist," reads the arrest report.

London was placed under arrest and taken to the Hudson Police Department. She reportedly was uncooperative and would not answer questions during booking. She was then placed in a cell to await bail.

After fingerprinting, London "became more compassionate," reads the report. "She asked which officer she had kicked and apologized multiple times to me for doing so."

At a Marlborough District Court arraignment Tuesday, London was released without bail. She is due back in court on Feb. 28 for a pretrial hearing.

The mother of the boy was released at the scene and not charged.

"It's a personal matter and the district has no formal comment," reads a statement issued through Rochelle Santos, media and communications manager for the Framingham Public Schools.
