HOWELL, Mich. -

A 16-year-old Michigan high school student who authorities say struck a security officer with a vehicle in a school parking lot has pleaded guilty in the case.

The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell reports the boy entered the plea Monday to operating a vehicle while intoxicated and causing injury. He was charged as a juvenile and is due back in court Nov. 19 for sentencing on the charge and a marijuana possession charge.

The Livingston County sheriff's department says the boy in May sprayed a household product from an aerosol can into a rag and passed out after inhaling it. Susan Hazzard was hit outside Hartland High School in Hartland Township, about 40 miles northwest of Detroit. She was hospitalized afterward.
