Embattled East Baton Rouge Parish School Board member Connie Bernard has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge stemming from her 2018 arrest at a teen party in her neighborhood, avoiding a trial that had been set for next month.
Bernard, 59, had been charged with simple battery, and entering and remaining after being forbidden, as a result of her profanity-laced confrontation in August 2018 at a Lakeside home.
She was accused of putting her hands to the neck of a young party-goer.
Bernard, who had pleaded not guilty last year, went to court Dec. 10 with her attorney, John McLindon, and pleaded guilty to the entering and remaining charge, and prosecutors dismissed the battery charge. She had been set for trial Jan. 4.
