A 14-year-old Newcastle girl was arrested after she allegedly threw a metal box at her stepfather.

The girl, whose name was not released because of her minor status, was arrested at about 4:14 p.m. Oct. 24 on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon at her parent’s home, according to a Placer Sheriff’s Office report.

The Horizon Charter student was reportedly in a heated argument with her stepfather over her bedroom door not closing properly, the report stated.

She reportedly slammed her door several times and was yelling profanities at her family.

As her stepfather was calling 9-1-1, the 14-year-old allegedly threw a 12- by 10- by 4-inch black metal medicine lock box at her stepfather’s back. The box, which contained her medications, reportedly caused a “large abrasion” on the victim’s back.

The 14-year-old then reportedly picked up the box and hit her stepfather on the back of the head.

The teen allegedly pushed her stepfather against a wall as she left the house, the report stated.
