350-Pound Teacher Charged for Standing on Student During Lockdown Drill

Jason Rogers, a 350-pound teacher at Underwood School in Minnesota, faces criminal charges after allegedly standing on a sixth-grade student's back during a lockdown drill, causing significant injury. The incident, which occurred on February 10, involved Rogers stepping on the boy for about ten seconds because he believed the students were not taking the drill seriously. The child's mother reported that her son was in severe pain, describing him as 'walking around like an 80-year-old.' Rogers admitted to stepping on three students during the drill and has been placed on administrative leave pending investigation. The criminal complaint highlights that the entire class witnessed the event and thought the boy's back might have been broken. Authorities became involved after the injured student was taken to the hospital for treatment.
