An Alabama mom was arrested on assault and other charges after she got into a fight with an 11-year-old on a school bus. The altercation was captured on video and later shared on social media according to NBC News. The incident took place around 7:18 a.m. on Tuesday in Center Point, which apporx. 14 miles northeast of Birmingham. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called out to the bus for a report of an assault. The mother, Nannatt Waldrop, got on the bus and “confronted an 11-year-old student whom Waldrop suspected of bullying her child,” authorities said. The 11-year-old and Waldrop would get into an altercation on the bus, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
The 37-year-old was arrested on charges of third-degree assault, trespassing on a school bus and disorderly conduct, according to court records. Waldrop was released Tuesday morning, a few hours after she was taken into custody.
As of now, its not clear if Waldrop has obtained an attorney.
“We are aware of the video circulating on social media of a fight that occurred on one of our school buses Tuesday morning,” Jefferson County Superintendent Walter Gonsoulin said in a statement. “I want to be very clear: This type of behavior is unacceptable, and it will not be tolerated.”
He said the district is reviewing what led up to the incident. Adults who’re not school employees are not allowed on school buses, the superintendent said.
“While this is now a law enforcement matter, let me just say what I saw on that video deeply disturbs me,” Gonsoulin said. “At no point is any type of violence acceptable, especially violence against students. We have been and will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement.”
