The student described feeling threatened when the mayor, also chairman of the school committee, physically leaned in while she performed. Rodrigues claimed he was reacting to the Navy song “Anchors Away” and later tried to apologize through her teachers. Despite her request to extend the order, the judge sided with ending it. The case also echoes a separate June incident where the student’s mother confronted the mayor at graduation — no charges filed.
