A middle school student in Virginia was handcuffed, suspended from school, and charged with a crime after taking free milk, his mother said. The student apparently got a carton of milk via the National School Lunch Program.

Shamise Turk’s son Ryan was on the school’s free lunch program, and the 65-cent carton of milk, she said, was supposed to be free.

Ryan, according to his mom, went back to the lunch line to get milk on May 10 at Graham Park Middle School in Triangle, Virginia, WJLA -TV reported. There, a Prince William County Police Officer accused the boy of stealing the milk.

Police then said Ryan became disorderly and was placed in handcuffs.
