A Florida mom was arrested for allegedly throwing Gatorade into a principal’s face during school dismissal.

On March 10, Diliana Quintana-Avila was charged with battery on a school employee, disrupting an educational institution, and resisting arrest without violence.  

The 40-year-old mom had entered Norland Middle School in Miami Gardens and allegedly threw the contents of a Gatorade bottle in the face of Assistant Principal Tiffany Hayes, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Oxygen.com.

Hayes told police in the affidavit that she had been standing by her post during school dismissal around 4 p.m. when she saw Quintana-Avila walking quickly toward her and the entrance of the school. Hayes said in the document that she walked up to the Quintana-Avila and asked, “How can I help you? Parents are not allowed in the building after 3:20 p.m.” 

According to Hayes, Quintana-Avila made a comment in Spanish and threw Gatorade in her face. The employee said in the document that she put her hands up and told the mom to stop twice, but she was "belligerent” and entered the campus anyway. 

Hayes said in the affidavit that she tried to stop Quintana-Avila, who allegedly threw the beverage in her face a second time.

A responding officer wrote in the affidavit that he tried to verbally de-escalate the situation, however that Quintana-Avila became “increasingly irate” and refused to produce her driver’s license. 

While Quintana-Avila was being escorted to the patrol car, the officer wrote in the affidavit that she became “physically resistant.” 

“Miami-Dade County Public Schools is aware of an isolated incident that occurred after school hours at Norland Middle School involving a parent and an administrator,” read a district statement sent to Oxygen.com. “Miami-Dade Schools Police quickly apprehended and arrested the individual. This District takes the safety and well-being of our students and staff very seriously and remains committed to maintaining a secure school environment for all.” 

Quintana-Avila was transported to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and has since been released. An attorney for Quintana-Avila did not respond to a request for comment from Oxygen.com.  

Quintana-Avila later made a court appearance in front of Judge Mindy S. Glazer, according to NBC 6. It is unclear how she pleaded.   Judge Glazer, according to the outlet, had stern words for the mom, reportedly stating: "I'm not ordering you to stay away from Norland Middle School, I'm asking you to act like an adult and listen when people tell you you can't go into a school or have to show an identification.”
