JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A former teacher in Mississippi has been indicted on a misdemeanor charge of abusing a vulnerable person.

Fourth Circuit Court District Attorney Dewayne Richardson said Monday that Linda Winters-Johnson will be arraigned Dec. 13.

Richardson says he doesn't know whether Winters-Johnson has a lawyer to speak on her behalf.

A widely circulated video shows Winters-Johnson dragging a special education student by the hair and then striking the student with a cup on Sept. 21. The Greenville school district fired her, and state officials are seeking to revoke her teaching license.

about the teacher! Teachers are a dime a dozen. . .easily replaceable and offer nothing of value to society. Cops, however, are living Gods and are revenue generators for the state with all the fines they get to hand out!
