Lawyer For Girl Disciplined For Trying to Be Designated Driver: School Lied About Her Being Arrested
School attorney claimed the girl was arrested at the party, cops say no she wasn't
The lawyer for the Massachusetts high school student punished for trying to rescue a pal who got drunk at a party claims the school district's lawyer lied to a judge when he claimed Erin Cox was arrested in the incident.
Cox, a 17-year-old honors student who was suspended from the North Andover High School volleyball team for five games and demoted as captain, responded to a texted plea from her friend Sept. 28. But minutes after she showed up at the party, Boxford police arrived and shut it down. Some students were arrested, but most — including Cox — were given summonses for underage possession of alcohol. Police later backed Cox's version of events.
