In Gainesville, Georgia, a North Hall High School teacher and coach, Jason Hughes, died after being accidentally run over by a student fleeing a toilet paper prank on March 6th. Five teenagers went to Hughes' home to "roll" it with toilet paper. As they were leaving, Hughes came outside, tripped, and was struck by a car driven by 18-year-old Jayden Ryan Wallace. Wallace has been charged with vehicular homicide, reckless driving, criminal trespass, and littering, while the other four face charges of criminal trespass and littering. All five have been released on bond. Hughes's widow, Laura, has publicly stated that she does not want the teens prosecuted, believing it would be against her husband's character and wishes.
