Orlando Teacher Under Investigation After Alleged Assault On Student

A teacher in Orlando is under investigation this weekend for allegedly assaulting a 12-year-old student at a middle school, Local 6 News has learned. Michael Jones, 12, said he was serving an in-school suspension at Walker Middle School when teacher Garry Chaderton confronted him, according to the report. Jones said when he talked back to Chaderton, the man walked him outside the portable classroom and lifted him off the ground. "He like grabbed me right here, picked me up off the ground and threw me into the portable," Jones said. The school's principal said the school district is investigating and Chaderton no longer has any contact with students. He was still employed with the school early Saturday. Chaderton has no history of violence in the five years he has been teaching science at the school, according to the principal. The school resource officer was still in the process of filing a report, Local 6 News reported.
