In 2010,Higonnet was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for an incident involving the parent of a Worthington Hooker Middle School student. [10] It was alleged that Higonnet grabbed the parent's collar and yelled at them for improperly using the Everit Street back gate,which abuts a residential street,instead of using the front entrance. [11] She faced a fine of up to $500 or up to three months in jail. [12] The case was dismissed five months later,after Higonnet voluntarily served 10 hours of community service and wrote a “letter of regret.” [11]
