The Winter Springs High School sophomore, whose name was redacted on the Sept. 17 report, was arrested after refusing to wear a mask and abide by other school rules, which violated a probation order that required him to maintain good behavior in school, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
She said he was arrested after going to the school office to ask for water because he was feeling panicky and was having trouble breathing in the mask.
The sheriff’s office told the newspaper the arrest was for probation violations, not violations of the school district’s mask rules.
By not wearing a mask, however, he was in violation of school rules.
School Resource Deputy Adrian Richardson warned the teen that getting in trouble at school was a violation of his probation, the report said.
