Scenario #5
My most feared of likely scenarios would be that some kid realizes that there isn’t really anything I can force him or her to do, and decides to push it to the ultimate limit in class by maybe just shouting at the top of his or her lungs while capering about like a madman, refusing to listen to reason. I pride myself at being a pretty reasonable person, and would find it difficult to deal with a person who is deliberately acting crazily in class. If the kid is at all being reasonable, I’m sure we can find some common ground; I’m really good at doing things like that. So my worst scenario is when any student refuses to even listen to any directions of mine, even if it is to simply walk to the office.

Try talking to them. If they don't want to listen to you, listen to them first. Hear what's on their mind, and see if you can come to some sort of agreement.
I don't know what you could do, but peer pressure can often work wonders. If you could get all the other students to get that student to stop one way or another, that could help. Of course you can't offically tell them to do it, but talk to the right student and it might get done.
I would come to the ultimate conclusion of calling the office and have an administrator come to get the student, because clearly the student can't even be trusted to make it to the office themself.
