I was hoping for herds of teachers to appear so they could see the real Shelly Stalls in action, but it was too late by the time anyone arrived on the scene. I had Fluffy in a headlock and her arm twisted back in a hammerlock, and no amount of her squawking or scratching was going to get me to un lock her until a teacher arrived.
What's the underlined part mean? Is it: inspite of her squawking or scratching, I insisted to lock her under my arm until a teacher arrived and then I loose her.

Yeah, you understood it correctly. Said another way: She wasn't going to let go until a teacher came, even if Fluff complained and scratched a lot.
