Custodian throws wrench at principal

WEST VALLEY CITY, UT — A custodian at Robert Frost Elementary School has been charged with felony assault for throwing a wrench at a principal, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

After being confronted about his work, the custodian became irate and threw a 14- or 16-inch crescent wrench at the principal; the wrench did not hit her, the story stated.

The custodian said that he "could have hit her with the wrench" if he wanted, and that the only way to get her attention is to "blow up," the story noted.

The custodian faces up to five years in prison if convicted, the story added.
