Donna Rodriguez, 52, said in a lawsuit filed Monday that a wild boar chased her on campus in October 2004, causing her to fall and suffer serious injuries, the News-Press of Fort Myers reported.

The judge said she knew she had found a way to reach the teen after she ordered her to park her car and ride the school bus.
