ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – An Orlando man was arrested Wednesday on allegations of forcing his way past the front desk administrator of Meadowbrook Middle School and pulling a fire alarm in the lobby, according to court documents.
Wesley Session, 32, faces charges of disturbing school/assemblies, attempted burglary of an occupied structure, trespassing on school grounds, criminal mischief below $200 and false alarm of fire, records show.
Session’s arrest affidavit states he approached the front door of the school around 9 a.m. and the front desk administrator cracked open the door because she thought for a moment that he was a student.

When the administrator realized Session was an adult, she asked what his business was at the school, but he then walked past her through the door and pulled the fire alarm in the lobby while also trying to open the doors leading to the school’s courtyard, according to the affidavit. The front desk administrator then ran into the SRO’s office for help, investigators said.
When Session was soon face-to-face with a deputy, he allegedly said, “Do not touch me. I’m not alone and I’m not the only one you have to worry about,” according to the affidavit.
After being placed in the back of a patrol vehicle, Session also reportedly bit the safety cushions covering the prisoner cage, the affidavit states.
Meadowbrook Middle School was placed on a secure hold while the campus was searched, investigators said.
Orange County Public Schools released a statement about the incident.
“Please note that there was NO lockdown, the school was placed on a brief SECURE as law enforcement and school administration immediately handled the situation. The individual in question made entry into the front office and did not have access to any other part of the campus," OCPS said.
The school district told News 6 that officials will speak to the employee who let the man into the building and everyone will be instructed to require everyone to remove hoodies or head coverings before opening the door.
Session was being held without bond at the time of this report.
