SCOTT, La. (KLFY) – A senior student at Acadiana High School was arrested yesterday after allegedly punching a school safety officer multiple times on the first day of school, according to the Scott Police Department.

Police Chief Chad Leger said the incident happened Wednesday after the student, Robert Hebert, 17, of Duson, was sent to the front office for a dress code violation.

Hebert was in violation of the dress code because his hair was not a natural color.

He was instructed to call a parent to take him home. Initially, Hebert would but not receive any disciplinary action for the infraction because it was the first day of school.

School officials told Hebert to eat lunch while waiting for his parent and return to the front office. A teacher then found Hebert hiding in an unauthorized area of the school, Leger said.

A school safety officer began to escort Hebert to the front office when Hebert refused to go.

The safety officer then attempted to physically escort Hebert.

That’s when Leger says Hebert turned and punched the safety officer twice in the head.

Eventually, the safety officer was able to restrain Hebert against the wall but was still reportedly being punched in the head and face.
