A former Fresno elementary school principal faces charges of cruelty to a minor after he was captured on video shoving a student to the ground, officials said.
Brian Vollhardt, the former principal of Wolters Elementary School, was seen striking the student in the chest during breakfast time on June 7.
"Instead of de-escalating the situation, the former principal chose to aggressively shove the student down," Fresno Police Chief Paco Balderrama said the incident was reported to police on June 9, but he was made aware of the incident on Sept. 6, nearly three months after the incident. "I can tell you as a police chief in this community, I have a real problem as to the way that this child was treated. As a parent of a 9-year-old kid, which is a very similar age to the victim in this case and who also suffers from anxiety and doesn't always handle situations in the best way , it is troubling as to how somebody who is supposed to protect this child and provide support, treated them," Balderrama said.
