Heartbreaking details behind school prank that left teacher Jason Hughes dead — as district issued warning just hours before tragic accident
NY Post
The toilet paper prank that left a beloved Georgia teacher and dad of two dead was part of an annual “junior/senior” war at the school — which district officials had warned against just hours before the tragedy.
Jason Hughes, 40, had been the target of the prank wars in years prior to Thursday night’s incident, where a group of students came to his Gainesville home and covered the front lawn with toilet paper.
Hughes’ home was a clear target for the prank war given that teachers’ homes were worth two points, according to last year’s rule set, and both he and his spouse were teachers at North Hall High School.
Students were said to lose points if they were “caught” by the teacher — possibly explaining how Hughes allegedly wound up getting run over by a student, Jayden Wallace, 18.
Wallace now faces charges of vehicular homicide. Several of his pals were also busted on lesser charges.
Hughes — a father of two — allegedly tripped and fell into the road when he stepped outside his house to confront the teen pranksters, with Wallace running over him with his pickup truck, according to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
