ST. GABRIEL — The St. Gabriel Police Department on Monday arrested schoolteacher Julie Landry, 46, of Plaquemine, and booked her with cruelty to a juvenile.

Landry is a third-grade teacher at East Iberville School in St. Gabriel.

Parents whose child is a student at the school filed a complaint against Landry, accusing her of forcing their son to unclog a restroom toilet with his hands May 7.

Part of the Iberville School Board’s personnel report approved Monday night included Superintendent Ed Cancienne’s recommendation that Landry be placed on leave with pay, pending an investigation into the report.

Landry is a first-year teacher, participating in an alternative certification program. She is free on bail after being booked with the allegation, authorities said.
