- Jason Hughes, a 40-year-old high school teacher in Gainesville, Georgia, died after being hit by a car while chasing students involved in a toilet paper prank at his home.
- The incident occurred late Friday when Mr Hughes slipped on wet ground and fell into the road as teenagers attempted to drive away after covering his yard in toilet paper.
- Jayden Ryan Wallace, 18, was charged with first-degree homicide by vehicle, reckless driving, criminal trespass, and littering, while four other teenagers face misdemeanor charges.
- Mr Hughes' wife, Laura, a fellow teacher, has urged authorities to drop all charges against the students, stating her husband would not want their lives ruined by the tragic accident.
- School officials had previously warned students to end the annual prank war due to past escalations, and a GoFundMe for Mr Hughes' family has raised over $200,000.
