School Security Officer Dean Banner Arrested for Hosting Teen Drinking Party

Police said a man who worked as a substitute security officer for the Highlands School District was arrested after he allegedly hosted a drinking party for teens.

According to district spokeswoman Misty Chybrzynski, Dean Banner worked on an on-call basis for the school system.

Chybrzynski said school administrators learned of Banner's Dec. 27 arrest the following day and permanently removed him from the substitute list.

Banner worked for the school district for 5 years and was not known to have had any previous problems, Chybrzynski said.

According to the criminal complaint, Harrison police were called to Banner's Natrona home to investigate a complaint of underage drinking.

When officers arrived, they found evidence that Banner was serving alcohol to minors, police said.

He is facing charges of giving alcohol to minors and disorderly conduct.
