Indiana Teacher of the Year Fired, Arrested after Slapping Student Over Hoodie
An Indiana teacher has reportedly been fired and arrested after assaulting a student over a hoodie. The incident was captured on the high school's surveillance cameras, as the teacher could face up to two-and-a-half years in prison if convicted.
A former teacher of the year at Jimtown High School in Elkhart, Indiana has been let go from his job and subsequently arrested following an incident involving a student. 61-year-old Michael Hosinski reportedly assaulted the student on February 25, 2022.
Footage from the incident shows that everything happened in the hallway. A student can be seen exiting a classroom, followed quickly by the teacher involved. Two other individuals observed as the teacher chased after the student.
The teacher grabbed a hold of the student and pushed him towards the wall. This is when video shows Hosinksi deliver an open-handed slap to the student's face.
After the slap, the student walks along with the teacher for a step or two until falling to the ground. Another staff member at the school quickly approached the situation.

Reports add that Hosinksi has received early retirement from the Indiana school district along with a full pension. The school district reportedly confirmed that the incident occurred and that the student was assaulted over a hoodie.
