A video of the scuffle went viral and caught the attention of authorities, who arrested Waldrop. It is unknown if the child suffered any injuries.

Dr. Walter Gonsoulin, superintendent of Jefferson County Schools, said the incident was “unacceptable” and added that it “will not be tolerated in any way,” according to NBC 15.

While this is now a law enforcement matter, let me tell you that what I saw in that video deeply disturbs me,” he continued. “At no time is any kind of violence, especially violence against students, acceptable.”

Waldrop was taken into custody by officers, but was released on $10,500 bail later in the day after facing charges of third-degree assault, trespassing on a school bus and disorderly conduct.

Gonsoulin added that adults who are not school employees are not allowed to ride the buses and administrators are reviewing the situation.
