Carbondale Police on Tuesday arrested a Roaring Fork High School parent for allegedly assaulting a male student in the high school parking lot following a confrontation involving the parent’s daughter.
Police officers were called to the school at about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday shortly after school was let out on a report of an “accident,” according to a Carbondale Police Department press release issued late Tuesday.
“When officers arrived they met with a juvenile who told officers he was hit in the face by another student’s parent while in the car,” the release said. “The juvenile said the parent opened the driver’s side door and punched him in the face. The parent reached for his daughter who was in the passenger seat, pulling her out from the driver’s side.”
