A grand jury has indicted a former Darien police officer on a theft charge in the disappearance of drugs from the city police department’s evidence room.
The Florida Times Union (http://bit.ly/1Atji6G ) reports Nicholaus “Nick” Odell Roundtree was indicted last week in McIntosh County on single counts of theft by conversion and violating his oath of office. The indictment was received Tuesday in Superior Court.
Authorities accuse Roundtree of taking more than $1,500 worth of drugs in the evidence locker.
Roundtree resigned in June, the month after authorities asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to probe the disappearance of drugs held as evidence in criminal cases.
The GBI secured a warrant to arrest Roundtree in September.
Roundtree remains free on $11,100 bail. It is unclear if he has a lawyer.
MD substitute teacher caught on tape hitting students with a belt.
A male substitute teacher in Maryland was seen on camera “taking it back to the old school” and striking misbehaved students with a good old fashioned leather belt.
Now everyone knows I am an advocate for the “old school” way of doing things, but this teacher had to have known that in today’s cop calling new age times, hitting students with a belt was a.) not appropriate b.) potential child endangerment or battery charges (among other charges). I am sure the parents of these kids were ready to fight livid.
Do I think this teacher handled disciplinary action in the most appropriate way? NO! But I must admit when I saw the video I chuckled a little on the inside.
Where I am from a little belt whooping “aint” never hurt nobody, but I digress.

A substitute teacher in Prince George’s County, Maryland, is under fire after a shocking video surfaced that appears to show him striking students with a belt.
According to WTTG-TV in Washington, D.C., the incident happened May 15 at Gwynn Park Middle School in Brandywine. The video shows a man hitting students with an object as children scream and laugh in the background.
The school district, which has not provided the name of the teacher, issued the following statement to WTTG:
“On Friday, May 15, a substitute teacher used improper actions to discipline students while in one of our classes at Gwynn Park Middle School. The substitute teacher has been removed from the classroom and the matter has been referred to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. Prince George’s County Public Schools does not condone this type of behavior and it is not representative of the level of professionalism and respectful conduct of the team at the school. PGCPS works to create a respectful and safe environment for all students and staff.”
