The details behind the prank which tragically killed a high school teacher, have been made public for the first time.Back on Thursday (5 March), a group of five teenagers decided to drape toilet paper across Jason Hughes’ trees as part of a high school prank – a common one over in the US.When Hughes ran out of his home in Gainesville, Georgia, to confront the troublemakers, he tripped and fell into the road as they tried to speed off in cars.He was then run over by one of the cars, which was driven by 18-year-old Jayden Ryan Wallace.Along with two other teens, Wallace stopped and tried to provide aid to the teacher until first responders arrived on the scene.
Tragically, the 40-year-old would die in hospital, leaving behind a wife and two young sons.Now though, the details behind the prank and its involvement in a ‘junior/senior’ war at school, has been explained.Wallace would be arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree vehicular homicide, reckless driving, criminal trespass, and littering on private property, in the aftermath of the incident.Wallace is being held on a $1,950 bond, according to jail records viewed by The New York Post.Four others – Elijah Tate Owens, Aiden Hucks, Ana Katherine Luque, and Ariana Cruz – all 18, were arrested and charged with criminal trespass and littering.District officials had warned against the prank war just hours before Hughes’ death, as he had been the target of these stunts in the years prior to last week’s horrific incident.The teacher’s home was a target for the prank war as targeting a teacher’s house was worth ‘two points’ according to last year’s rule set, with both Hughes and his wife being teachers at North Hall High School
