The founder of The Element Montessori School in Bunnell was arrested on Sept. 11 after allegedly throwing rocks at her neighbor’s home and kicking two Flagler Beach police officers.

Kerri Huckabee, 54, was charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief and three felonies: throwing a deadly missile into an occupied home and two counts of resisting an officer with violence. Flagler Beach police had responded to the home in the 600 block of South 23rd Street multiple times over the last several months because of calls stating that Huckabee was lashing out at her neighbors, according to Huckabee’s arrest report.

Huckabee admitted to throwing items at her neighbor’s home and security cameras, and some security camera footage shows her yelling and throwing rocks at the cameras, damaging one camera’s lens.

Huckabee was belligerent and erratic when FPBD officers spoke to her, according to the report.

The two FBPD officers tried to restrain Huckabee, and she began fighting them. She kicked one officer in the thigh twice and kicked the other officer in the shin before they placed her in a police cruiser. She posted bond on Sept. 12. 

Huckabee is the founder of The Element Montessori School at 207 N. Chapel St. in Bunnell, formerly called the Flagler Beach Montessori School.
