A 14-year-old girl, who refused to stop texting during a math class, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, according to police.

The teenager was busted last Wednesday at Wauwatosa East High School after she ignored a teacher's demand that she stop texting. The girl initially denied having a phone when confronted by a school security officer. However, the phone was located after the girl was frisked by a female cop.

The Samsung Cricket, the police report noted, was recovered "from the buttocks area" of the teenager. The student was issued a criminal citation for disorderly conduct, which carried "a bail of $298," and had her phone confiscated.

The girl, who was barred from school property for a week, is scheduled for an April 20 court appearance on the misdemeanor rap.
