This happened today at my last period. The student just got up and walked out stating that technically she cannot hold any students there as the student handbook stated that schools over when the last bell rings. Is this true?

If it is within the school/school district's policy, the teacher can assign after school detentions, before school detentions, or weekend detentions. Ever see the Breakfast Club? Weekend and afterschool detentions are really quite common.
If your classmate has a problem, they should discuss it with a school counsellor or the principal.

I'm not sure where you go to school but in CA we can hold students for up to five minutes after the bell. We can also give hour long detention. The student was in the wrong and probably just made the whole situation worse.
Remeber: don't argue with an angry teacher. They get ugly!

Usually, a teacher acts in the best interest of a student. If a student's behaviour is contrary to the standard norms of the school, then a teacher would be in the wrong if he/she did not respond to the breach. By holding a student extra time after class, the teacher is indirectly imparting a valuable lesson - that this sort of behaviour does not take you anywhere in civilized society. The student will be grateful to the teacher later in life for this act of love...

Schoool is over when the bells rings for students if the teacher is finished with class. Of course a teacher can keeps kids after school. Class is over when the teacher dismisses the class or the student.

Depends.
Let me first say that your friend shows his character and disregard for authority by his behaviour. Not only did he "horse around" in class, not learning himself but also preventing others from learning but he also walked out on his teacher. Behaviour that I would never tolerate as a teacher.
Next, as others have said it depends on the school district. Laws vary greatly from place to place. Here, teachers must give parents 24 hours notice of after school detention. If it is just one minute to reprimand a student, this restriction does not apply.
Your friend should be ashamed of his behaviour. No questions asked.

that only applies if he or she got detention after school, but rules vary from school district to school district. Rules also vary from state to state.
