North Vermilion parent allegedly hits school resource officer with hIs vehicle

A man was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly hitting a school resource officer (SRO) with his vehicle and then threatening to fight him after dropping off his child at North Vermilion High School.
Keith Dain Sellers Jr., 37, was charged with aggravated battery, threatening a public official, and failure to obey police officers and traffic signals.
The Vermilion Parish Special Response Team arrested him at his house without any incident.
The SRO was directing traffic in the student drop-off area when the incident occurred.
He instructed the driver of a tan Toyota to turn west instead of turning east from the westbound line. However, the driver became irate and ignored him. When the SRO tried to direct the driver, the car hit the SRO, forcing him onto the car’s hood. The driver then stopped, turned around, and drove off while cursing the SRO and threatening him with bodily harm.
Fortunately, the SRO was not injured, and the Vermilion Parish School Board provided a video that documented the incident and assisted in the investigation. Sellers remained in the Vermilion Parish jail on Thursday afternoon, with a bond set on three of the charges totaling $37,500, but with no bond set on three other charges.
