An Alabama high school band director was shocked with a stun gun and arrested after Birmingham police said he wouldn’t tell his band to stop playing.
Local news outlets report that Minor High School's band director was arrested Thursday night after a football game between Minor and Jackson-Olin High School. He's charged with disorderly conduct, harassment and resisting arrest.
Police say the Jackson-Olin band stopped performing, but that the director disregarded officers and told his students to keep playing. Paramedics treated the band director and took him to a hospital to be checked out, Fitzgerald said. He was later booked into jail and released after posting bail.
