According to reports, a 14-year-old pupil was knocked to the ground by an instructor in Georgia, who was charged with assault. According to a news release from the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office, student Marquett Thinn of Salem Excessive School in Conyers, Georgia, was recorded on camera hitting a male student to the ground following a dispute. Upon his arrest, Thinn was booked on charges of assault and violence against a school staff member.
In an email to CNN, Thinne’s office sent an edited video shot from a mobile phone, which shows him yelling at the kid and then appearing to push him to the ground. According to reports from the sheriff’s office, the 14-year-old seems to have complained of discomfort in his wrists as a result of the attack, prompting the investigation.
Thinne’s last day of work as a teacher was Tuesday, according to Cindy Ball, a spokesperson for the Rockdale school system, who said she was unable to provide any other information on personnel concerns.
“We are dedicated to conducting a thorough investigation into any allegations of employe wrongdoing. In order to offer a healthy learning and teaching environment for both students and workers, Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS) expects all personnel to conduct themselves in a professional and ethical way. ” The subject of the ball was brought up.
According to the police department that issued a news statement about it, Thinn was charged with simple battery as a result of the investigation. According to the sheriff’s office, which shared the news with CNN, he was freed from jail after posting $2,000 bond.
For the time being, the network has not gotten a response to its inquiries concerning Thinn’s involvement in the incident. The investigation, according to the sheriff’s office, is still in progress.
Salem High School has a total enrollment of slightly more than 1,000 college students, according to the school’s official website.
