A vice principal in Florida is reportedly out of a job after she not only failed to report a classroom brawl between a teacher and a student, but also “instructed” another student who recorded the incident to delete the “chokehold” footage, authorities allege.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said that the chokehold incident itself at Progress Village Middle School happened in mid-January and initially resulted in the March arrest of 39-year-old teacher Bennie Leverett, who went on to resign from his job for allegedly “restricting the student’s ability to breathe” in the felony child abuse case, local NBC affiliate WFLA reported, citing a Hillsborough County Public Schools statement.
