TAMPA - A Tampa woman is accused of entering Westchase Elementary School while drunk on Monday, punching a woman and yelling profanities in the presence of children, according to an affidavit.

Reginene Hall Legette, 42, was released from Hillsborough County Jail on Monday after posting $5,750 bail. She is charged with two felony counts of battery on a law enforcement officer and several misdemeanors: battery, disrupting a school function, disorderly intoxication, trespassing on school property and resisting arrest without violence.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Legette entered the school, at 9517 W. Linebaugh Ave., shortly before noon and confronted the other woman, Mickey Carney, 40, of Tampa. Carney is not employed at the school; she is the parent of a student and was visiting the lunchroom, the sheriff's office said.

Legette punched Carney several times on the left side of her face while Carney sat at a lunch table with 8-year-olds, an affidavit states.

The sheriff's office did not know the basis of the dispute.

When deputies arrived, Legette tried to leave the school by jabbing one deputy in the chest and pushing another, the affidavit states. Once handcuffed, she screamed profanities while being walked through the hallways, the affidavit states.

Deputies said in the affidavit that Legette was "heavily intoxicated" and urinated on the way to the patrol car. She had a cold bottle of wine in her purse, the affidavit states.
