Fire him or, no?
Gee, maybe we should think about this..... hmmmm
July 25, 2008 - Chris Hakes, Vice Principal at a Decatur school for the past eight years, in charge of disciplining the students, was arrested for shoplifting a jump drive at WalMart. On Wednesday, he pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor theft. He was sentenced to a year of probation, ordered to undergo counseling and stay out of every WalMart for a year.
Residents are wondering if he is a role model for the students at Bellmont Middle School.
Hakes is the second area educator this month to plead guilty to a crime. Last week, former Wayne High School Assistant Principal Kristopher Sennett pleaded guilty to two counts of child seduction, admitting to having had sex with a student this year. He will be sentenced in September. Entry
