A Fort Worth middle school principal has been placed on administrative leave with pay after being arrested over the weekend on child endangerment charges.
Carla Westbrook-Spaniel, 44, of Arlington, allegedly left her children, ages 3 and 4, unattended at the Dallas Adolphus Hotel while she tried to get into a downtown Dallas club, according to police.
Westbrook-Spaniel tried to get into the Mantus Lounge in the 1500 block of Main Street, but instead got into a confrontation when the bouncer told her she wasn’t dressed appropriately. According to police, Westbrook-Spaniel tried to push her way past the bouncer by shoving him.
Dallas police were called and another confrontation took place, officers said. Police said Westbrook-Spaniel fought with officers and scratched herself on her face during the struggle.
