"I'm not - you just pushed me to the floor", Hargrave responds as the unnamed officer begins to push her towards the exit. "We work very hard with very little to maintain the salaries that we have".

After the board approved the raise, Hargrave was again recognized by the board and voiced her frustrations. Shortly after, Hargrave was removed from the building in handcuffs.

Hargrave also expressed frustration that "performance goals" were cited as the reason for the raise when teachers are responsible for helping the school system reach those goals. "Sir, hang tight, I am path littler than you".

Board president Anthony Fontana ruled Hargrave "out of order" after she posed several questions - and it was not a question-and-answer period. "Due to the location of her arrest and the arresting agency's jurisdiction, which includes the city limits of Abbeville, she was booked in and bonded from the local police department".

Following the weird - and violent - arrest, Vermilion Parish School Board Superintendent Jerome Puyau told the local news outlet the district won't press charges against Hargrave.

The Daily Mail reported school officials said there would be no charges against the teacher, from Rene Rost Middle School in Kaplan.

Teacher Deyshia Hargrave was reportedly joined by many others at the meeting who wanted to discuss the superintendent's new contract.

.

According to Ike Funderburk, Abbeville's city attorney and prosecutor, no charges will be filed against Hargrave.

It's misty if the marshal got orders from board individuals or in the event that he was following up on his own.

Ms Hargrave appeared to leave the meeting willingly after the officer approached her and asked her to do so, but in the hallway video showed that she was on the ground being handcuffed and asking "what are you doing?" repeatedly. The Abbeville Marshals Office has not returned telephone calls looking for input.
