SEATAC, Wash. — A security officer from Highline School District was charged with misdemeanor assault after he allegedly choked a 14-year-old student until the boy’s face turned blue.
Greg F. Seth, who is a former Seattle police officer, is suspected of accosting the student at Chinook Middle School on February 1, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports. The boy was arrested after the incident because Seth claimed the boy had pushed past him.
The incident was witnessed by an administrator and overheard by another executive at the school, but a formal police report was not filed until two months later. The news source further reports that Seth called the home of the administrator who witnessed the incident and attempted to coach her on what to say to investigators and threaten to “get her” if she “lied.”
Seth was fired from his position at the school but has not been arrested.
