Melbourne, June 6 (ANI): A proud mother was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for cheering too loudly at her daughter's high school graduation ceremony in South Carolina.
According to WPDE-TV, Shannon Cooper claimed that she spent several hours in jail on Saturday night after being escorted from her daughter Iesha's South Florence High School graduation in handcuffs, News.com.au reported.
The police claimed that they had warned attendees prior to the graduation ceremony that anyone who cheered or screamed would be escorted from the venue.
But Cooper said that she could not believe the decision to remove her from the Florence Civic Center, where the ceremony was held.
"Disorderly conduct? What's the disorderly conduct?" she said.
"How was I so disorderly you know any different from just a happy parent? I didn't resist arrest, nothing," Cooper said.
Cooper, who was booked into jail for several hours, posted a 225 dollars bond. (ANI)

I think she had every right to be excited but she needed to consider the other people around her and contain herself until she was at home with her family. I do not think she should have been arrested. Perhaps a reminder to use her inside voice would have worked. Congrats on your daughther's graduation.
