Authorities said Taylor has been cooperating with the investigation.
The injured teenager is now recovering at home from her injuries which included five cracked ribs, a bruised esophagus, an injured trachea, air bubbles in her chest and a punctured lung.

'I could have died, easily,' she told reporters two days after the incident.

'Jordan is truly the sweetest girl in the world. It doesn't matter what someone does to her she always has someone's best interest at heart. She doesn't wish to seek revenge on her friend. But in my opinion her friend needs to learn a lesson,' she said.
'She could have killed her and it wouldn't be a question at all if she was in trouble for her actions. She would be in jail right now, but that is how Jordan feels.
