PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Central High School assistant principal who resigned after he was caught on camera grappling with a student will not face criminal charges, according to the Providence Police Department.

Police say they have closed the investigation into Thomas Bacon and they cannot say whether the 15-year-old student was charged.

The cell phone video captured Bacon pinning the teen to the ground during the altercation back in October.
