A 12-year-old Queens girl was hauled out of school in handcuffs for doodling her name on her desk with a lime-green erasable marker, the Daily News reports.
Alexa Gonzalez's transgression at Junior High School 190 in Forest Hills included scribbling "I love my friends Abby and Faith" and "Lex was here. 2/1/10" (plus a smiley face) while waiting for her Spanish teacher to pass out homework.
The News says she was taken in handcuffs to the police precinct across the street from the school and detained for several hours.
"I started crying, like, a lot," Alexa tells the newspaper.
Although she remains suspended from school and must perform eight hours of community service, city officials say Alexa's arrest "shouldn't have happened."
"Even when we're asked to make an arrest, common sense should prevail, and discretion used in deciding whether an arrest or handcuffs are really necessary," said police spokesman Paul Browne.
