Taunton Public Schools said in a statement to NBC10 Boston that they are aware of the physical altercation that occurred on June 3 involving a crossing guard, who has since been fired.
Following the incident, the crossing guard was terminated, effective immediately, and is no longer an employee of Taunton Public Schools, the district said. The woman claims that she was going through an intersection when she had to sneeze, so she stopped her car to get a tissue in the middle of the intersection, prosecutors said. Chaves allegedly yelled at her to keep driving, so the woman yelled back, at which point Chaves allegedly put the stop sign stick through the vehicle's window and started waving it at her in the car.
