A St. Joseph school board member pleaded guilty Tuesday to a misdemeanor charge stemming from an incident involving another board member.

Whitney Lanning pleaded guilty to the charge of second-degree harassment at a hearing in front of Associate Circuit Judge Chad Gaddie.

 Lanning will be placed on two-year probation and is ordered by the court to attend anger management.

Lanning was charged for behavior in a February 26 incident following a Board of Education meeting.

Court documents and security video detail Lanning approaching fellow board member Isaura Garcia, yelling at her, following her and throwing her own property at a wall.

Lanning still faces a civil suit related to the incident. No hearings have been set in that case.
