Freeport police arrested a 17-year-old student at Brazosport High School on Tuesday after he allegedly knocked a teacher’s hand away from a vending machine, Freeport police said.
The woman told police the boy was at the vending machine at 10:30 a.m. after the bell rang to change classes. After she went over to the machine, pushed the button to dispense his change and told him to go to class, the boy yelled expletives and pushed her hand away, police said.
The boy was cited with a misdemeanor and was released from the Freeport jail shortly afterward, police said.
Police said he was arrested without incident.
Officers found no weapons on the boy and alcohol and drugs were not involved, police said.
