Shreveport – A 42-year-old woman has been arrested after threatening a teacher during a school event at Huntington High School. Aquanita Turner was taken into custody on April 25 at around 10 a.m. following a violent confrontation that took place the previous evening.
The incident began when Turner went to the school to discuss a prior issue with the principal. However, during her visit on April 24, Turner became involved in a heated verbal altercation with a teacher, leading to her threatening the educator. Officials at the school had to restrain her physically to defuse the situation.
Turner now faces several charges, including interfering with the operation of schools, disturbing the peace, and simple assault. She was subsequently booked into the Caddo Correctional Center following her arrest.
The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office has taken notice of this incident, emphasizing the seriousness of the threat made during the school event. The authorities have highlighted that such behavior not only disrupts the learning environment but also poses safety concerns for both students and staff.

Background information reveals that Turner had a history of interactions with the school prior to this event. The specific nature of the prior incident that led to her visit remains unclear, but it was significant enough to warrant a meeting with the school’s principal.
School administrators have stated that maintaining a safe environment for students and faculty is a top priority. They are committed to addressing any issues that threaten this safety with appropriate measures. School officials are also encouraging parents and guardians to communicate with their children about appropriate behavior and conflict resolution, particularly in heightened emotional situations.
This incident is part of a larger discussion about safety in schools across the nation, where various school systems have been revising their policies regarding on-campus behavior. The Shreveport case underscores the importance of collaboration between schools, parents, and the community to ensure that educational environments remain conducive to learning without fear of violence or disruption.
