A Winder-Barrow High School student called police after a confrontation with a male staff member.
The student said he was walking near the ticket booth entrance at the stadium when the staff member placed his hand on the student’s chest. The student said he told the man to remove his hand and not to touch him again. According to the student, the staff member then pushed him.
The staff member said he was in the ticket booth collecting money when the student leaned in the open door of the ticket booth. The staff member said it appeared the student was trying to enter the booth, so he put up his hand and informed the student that he could not enter.
The staff member claimed the student continued to push against his hand. The staff member also accused the student of threatening him and using foul language.
A coach at the school advised that the student, who was also a member of the track team, became disorderly when confronted. The coach ordered the student to remove his track uniform and leave the area.
The coach informed the officer that he wished to handle the incident through the school system. No criminal charges have been filed, but the Winder-Barrow school resource officer was notified.
