Police arrested a Somerville High School student after he allegedly grabbed a female teacher's chest, according to a report from the Somerville Police Department.

According to allegations in the report, Pierre walked into the teacher's office at about 2:45 p.m. on Nov. 13, asking if she had any Halloween candy.

She had brought some candy in for fellow teachers and let Pierre take a few pieces, the report says. Afterward, she turned back to her computer, where she had been working, it says.

A moment later, the teacher saw Pierre approach her from behind as she was sitting at her desk, according to the report.

It says the student wrapped his arms around her chair, touched her arms and lightly grabbed her chest.

When he let go, the teacher, speechless, stared at him awkwardly, the report says.

After the incident, the teacher called Pierre housemaster, and eventually the high school headmaster got involved.

When police placed Pierre into custody, he allegedly said, "I gave her a hug, that's all I did."
