Gwinnett County Public Schools police arrested two women in separate events at the county school board meeting Thursday night as the district operated a new security area for the first time at a board meeting.
Snellville resident Karen Pirkle and Suwanee resident Brenda Stewart were arrested at a security screening area outside the board meeting chambers, according to district spokeswoman Sloan Roach.
Roach said Pirkle was arrested on a criminal trespass charge. Roach said Pirkle was the woman who got into a stand-off with Board Chairman Everton Blair over her refusal to wear a face mask at the October school board meeting.
