A Florida police officer was suspended after he arrested two young children in school last week, including a 6-year-old who was acting out because of an apparent medical condition.

The girl's grandmother, Meralyn Kirkland, attributed her behavioral problems to sleep apnea.

The girl was taken to a juvenile detention center Thursday where she was set to be processed. The arrest was stopped after a supervisor learned of it, and she was returned to school.
