A former Manatee County teacher’s aide is in custody in connection to a 7-year-old, non-verbal student being tied up to a chair after the Bradenton police issued two arrest warrants on Feb. 6 for her and a teacher.
Taylor Internicola, 39, was taken into custody Friday evening on a false imprisonment charge of a child under age 13 three days after a warrant was issued for her arrest, according to an updated post on the Bradenton Police Department’s Facebook page.
In a news release posted to Facebook on Feb. 6, detectives informed the community they obtained warrants to arrest Carina Chindamo, 31, and Internicola. Both women worked at G.D. Rogers Garden-Bullock Elementary School.

Chindamo, an Exceptional Student Education teacher, was taken into custody the evening of Feb. 6.
Surveillance video from the school’s playground from Feb. 2 showed Internicola, a teacher’s aide, bring the 7-year-old student to the playground, according to a probable cause affidavit. The video shows the student’s left hand was restrained by a nylon walking rope which Internicola then wrapped around the leg of a chair that Chindamo was sitting on.
