What should have been a routine Friday dismissal at Green Tree Preparatory Academy instead erupted into a hallway brawl that now has a Milwaukee parent facing felony charges, according to police and court documents. Investigators say the parent jumped into a confrontation with school safety staff, punched a school resource officer as students were leaving, and helped spark a scuffle that several students then joined. Staff suffered visible injuries, and Milwaukee Public Schools issued a no-trespass order, district officials said.
What prosecutors say happened
According to FOX6, 33-year-old Yesheva Daniels is charged with two counts of battery to a school district employee as a party to a crime, along with making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. The criminal complaint states that Daniels entered the building without permission around dismissal time and confronted a safety officer while staff were monitoring students exiting the school.
Alleged threats and staff injuries
Court documents reviewed by WTMJ say officers observed a contusion and scratches on school safety staff after the fight. The complaint quotes Daniels as saying she was “fixin to come back and shoot this motherf****r up.” Prosecutors say several students joined in striking staff during the incident while other officers tried to pull people apart and break up the altercation.
School response and safety steps
Milwaukee Public Schools emailed families stating that it immediately notified the Milwaukee Police Department, issued a no-trespass order, and will follow the student code of conduct for the student involved, according to CBS 58. The district also told parents it would connect students who witnessed the incident with counselors and other supports.
Legal next steps
Daniels made an initial appearance in court on Thursday morning, and the case remains in Milwaukee County Circuit Court, according to local reports. Media accounts differ on potential penalties: WTMJ reports she could face up to 11 years if convicted, while FOX6 notes up to three years and six months on each felony count as described in the complaint.
The episode adds to a series of confrontations between parents and MPS staff that have drawn police in recent years; one earlier case left an employee with facial fractures, according to reporting by TMJ4. Court filings and criminal complaint records will determine the next procedural steps as the case moves forward.
