A now-retired Indiana high school teacher was arrested Thursday after video showed him hitting a student during a confrontation over wearing a hooded sweatshirt on school grounds, officials said.
Security footage obtained by CNN shows the incident on February 25 at Jimtown High School in Elkhart, Indiana.
After a police investigation, Hosinski was preliminarily charged with battery, which is a felony, the Elkhart County Sheriff's Office said in a news release posted to Facebook Thursday evening. A request for formal charges has been submitted, the sheriff's office said. Less than two hours after Hosinski hit the student on February 25, he requested that the Baugo Community School Board grant him early retirement, Superintendent Byron Sanders said in a letter to families on Sunday.
