School fight in Dothan | |
A Dothan middle school teacher is on paid administrative leave after allegations he injured a student while trying to break up a fight.
This fight between two students at Honeysuckle Middle School on Wednesday was captured on cell phone video and subsequently posted on social media. The video shows an adult, who appears to be teacher, grab a student around the neck and pull him to the ground.
The teacher's name hasn't been released.
"We are still investigating it right now," Dothan Police Lt. Will Glover told AL.com Thursday morning. "We are hoping to be through with it today. At this point right now, we are leaning towards there won't be any criminal charges against the teacher."
He said the teacher was trying to do what he could to defuse "a very volatile situation."
Two of the students involved in the fight could face disorderly conduct charges, but that would be up to the school resource officer, Glover said.
The mother of one of the students involved told WTVY that her son was mishandled by the teacher and suffered a concussion. The mother's name wasn't released.
Glover said one of the students was injured in the fight, but he didn't know if the injury was a concussion.
