Things are getting messy for one Valley high school student after a food fight went wrong.

ABC 15 reported that Conner Floyd-Elsesser, then a freshman at Horizon High School, was in the cafeteria when a huge food fight broke out.

Floyd-Elsesser's plan was to run, but that was put to an end after a teacher allegedly tackled Floyd-Elsesser, punched him and pinned him down with such force that Floyd-Elsesser injured his shoulder.

Then came the letter from county prosecutors. A teacher was suing Floyd-Elsesser for allegedly assaulting him.

Several cell phone videos show Floyd-Elsesser being held down and he doesn't appear to be assaulting anyone. In fact, he looks the part of the victim.

Students have written in supporting Floyd-Elsesser and his attorney has said they plan to fight the charge in court.

    Don't give in! Fight back! Teachers are not untouchable. They too have to restrain themselves when needed.

    I was outside when this happened. Another kid was arrested for setting the trash cans on fire. It was overall a crazy mess. Literally DOZENS of kids were running out of the cafeteria. One kid would not be tackled or punched for no reason. The teacher in the tie-dye lab coat was the best teacher I ever had and he was one of those people who wouldn't hurt a fly, unless given a reason. The one standing up looks like our dean of students, and he most certainly would know the consequences of doing something like the kid is saying. The kid must have done something, and i'm sticking to that thought.
