HEPHZIBAH, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) -- A woman is in custody after a school principal says she walked into the school and made threats of violence against one of the staff.

The incident happened on March 20th at Spirit Middle School, in Hephzibah. The principal there says 44-year-old Vontrice Lashawn Walker walked into the building and approached a sixth-grade teacher.

"That's why parents come up here and give ya'll something to be worried about," Walker, a mother at the school, said to the teacher.

Walker went on to say "that's why teachers get shot messing with people children."

Another parent a the school says Walker also told her to get her child, because "it's about to pop off."

A deputy says Walker was acting very angry and was yelling in the hallways.

She has been arrested and charged with disrupting a public school, and making terroristic threats and acts.
