SOUTHBURY, Conn. – Pomperaug High School teacher Edward Kimble IV apparently didn’t appreciate a student parking in his spot.

The 52-year-old Newtown resident faces a second-degree reckless endangerment charge after he allegedly let the air out of a student’s front tire at Pomperaug High School on June 2, presumably because the student parked his car in the teacher’s parking spot, Fox 61 reports.

School security allowed the student to park in Kimble’s spot because student parking spaces were unavailable, according to the news site.

Kimble turned himself in on an arrest warrant Monday, Connecticut State Police said in a statement.

The Republican American reports the student involved in the ordeal was female.

“The school district’s superintendent, Regina Lemberich Botsford, said in internal investigation in the school is ongoing, and that Kimble is on paid administrative leave and will not have further contact with students at the school,” Fox 61 reports. “The suspension is to ensure there is no ‘compromise to student safety.’”

Kimble was booked and released on a $500 bond, and is due back in court on Aug. 10, according to WTNH.

Former students who spoke with Fox 61 were surprised by the teacher’s arrest.

“Mr. Kimble? Ya, I do know him. I had him for history,” said an unidentified girl at a local coffee shop. “He was always a really nice guy. He was one of everybody’s favorite teachers, really. Everybody knew him.”

“If I was a teacher and that was my spot, I would have been mad, but I wouldn’t have went that far with it,” another unidentified teen told the news site.

The incident certainly isn’t the first time a teacher has been accused of vandalizing cars in the school parking lot.

Neshaminy High School teacher David Ferrara penned a letter to his local teachers union in 2013, during a contract dispute with the school district. The Pennsylvania teacher alleged his overzealous union coworkers had vandalized the vehicle of teachers who defied the union’s “work to contract” protest – those who opted to stay after school to do their jobs instead of going home in a collective tantrum, EAGnews reports.

“Cars were keyed, tires had screws put into them, tires were slashed, and windows were smashed in vehicles,” Ferrara wrote, later posting to Facebook about how his own tires were slashed for speaking out against the union.
