Overview
- Polk County deputies say Latanya Rowe, 48, boarded a Davenport High School bus, yelled profanities at a student and the driver, and caused about a 50-minute delay.
- The student recorded the encounter, and the sheriff's office released a portion of the video showing Rowe standing over him and yelling.
- Deputies later found Rowe causing a disturbance in the school’s front office, where she resisted arrest; her daughter was taken into custody after refusing to back away under the county’s 'Halo law.'
- Rowe faces charges of disrupting a school function, trespassing on school grounds, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest, and she was released after posting $1,750 bond.
- Investigators concluded her son and daughter were the aggressors in an Oct. 24 fight following a week of bullying that included racial slurs, and the victim's parents declined to press charges.
