An assistant principal at McKinley Middle Magnet was placed on administrative leave after she was arrested Monday evening.
Assistant Principal April Scott was arrested by Louisiana State Police in Iberville Parish for taking contraband from a penal institution and gambling in public.
Scott is the sister of Broderick Scott, who was a former inmate at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center and the target of a LSP investigation ordered by Governor Landry following overdose deaths inside the prison.
At the end of the investigation, no arrests were made for drugs but Broderick Scott was arrested for an alleged gambling operation that took place from January 2021 to November 2023.
