"FERNDALE, Mich. (AP) - Ferndale police say an adult education student tossed liquid on a teacher because he believed she was a witch who needed to be purified.
Police say 20-year-old Darin Najor of Ferndale threatened the teacher last month at Taft Education Center a day after confronting her about Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," which focuses on the Salem Witch Trials.
Detective Ken Denmark tells The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak that Najor says he was trying to purify the teacher with holy water. Denmark says Najor also had a lighter and wanted to, in his words, "burn the witch."
Najor is charged with assault and battery and faces an Oct. 23 hearing. He is free on bond.
Court records didn't list a lawyer for Najor, and there was no telephone listing under his name."
