0:52Now PlayingTwo Florida educators have been arrested after video of a teacher putting a student in a chokehold earlier this year surfaced — with a vice principal nabbed for allegedly trying to bury the disturbing incident.
Bennie Leverett, a teacher at Progress Village Middle School in Tampa, and school vice principal Tashiska Fabian were arrested in connection to the Jan. 18 melee, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday.
Leverett, 39, put the student in a chokehold, “restricting the student’s ability to breathe,” according to the sheriff’s office and the video.
Leverett allegedly held the student, who is 14, in the chokehold for around four minutes, even pulling the kid to the ground at one point while still grasping him, according to an arrest affidavit cited by the Tampa Bay Times.
