MARTIN COUNTY — A Palm City Elementary School mother was accused of causing a disturbance by yelling and cursing at the school in front of parents and students.

Sherrie Dondorfer, 31, of the 3400 block of Southwest Mapp Road in Palm City, was arrested Nov. 8 on charges of refusing to leave school grounds and resisting officers without violence.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Laurie Weber said she doesn't recall ever experiencing or hearing of any similar incidents in Martin County.

Deputies said Dondorfer was in the principal's office when she started yelling. School officials called deputies who tried to calm Dondorfer, but she continued to yell. Her arrest report does not specify why she was upset.
