I would think that JCPD has more important things to do than arresting an 18 year old for 'pushing a staff member'.
And yes Amazed, back in my day if a teacher was in a student's face, and that student shouldered past so that they could get out of the situation, while not being 'acceptable', it was certainly understandable and no cops would have been called.

The eighteen year old adult pushed a staff member then chose to flee when the officer attempted to question him or her. That's why he/she got arrested. When you make two stupid choices, it's time to learn what happens.

Back in my day the school would have handled it, no cops needed. If the school couldnt handle me they called mom. OH NO ! dont call mom ! That was worse than callin the cops
