An East Baton Rouge Parish school board member landed in hot water Friday night after a confrontation involving a party at a neighbor's home.

Board member Connie Bernard is accused of walking into a neighbor's home through an unlocked door during the party and taking pictures, according to an East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office report.

Deputies were called to the 900 block of High Lake Drive at 9:51 p.m. after someone reported that a stranger entered someone's house, according to the sheriff's office's incident report.

Bernard was issued a summons for entering and remaining after forbidden, East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Casey Rayborn Hicks said.

When deputies arrived, Bernard was in the middle of the road and flagged them down. She told them that there was a party going on at one of homes so she "went inside of the residence to investigate and take pictures," according to the incident report.

The man who reported Bernard to law enforcement told deputies that Bernard came inside through an unlocked door and wouldn't leave even though he asked her to go several times.
