A classroom meeting between former romantic partners Terrod Tiyan Torrence and Odiria Biggins, both teachers, turned violent on July 17 at The SEED School of Miami. Biggins reported that Torrence repeatedly punched her in the head and slammed her head against a wall, causing her to lose consciousness.
Upon regaining consciousness, Biggins allegedly retrieved pepper spray from her vehicle. Surveillance video captured her entering a classroom where Torrence was present. Shortly after, both emerged, with Torrence exhibiting signs of irritation and difficulty walking, reportedly from being sprayed.
Both teachers were arrested. Biggins was charged with discharging a weapon on school property and a misdemeanor offense, with her bond set at $2,000. Torrence was arrested the following day and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence battery, facing a $2,000 bond and a pretrial no-contact order. His arraignment is scheduled for September 23.
