SONORA – A Curtis Creek Elementary School was arrested Saturday and booked on child abuse related charges, authorities reported Saturday evening.

The investigation stemmed from a report by a parent, indicating an assault had taken place the day prior at the school.

Investigating officials reviewed surveillance video, which showed the teacher, identified as 60-year-old Phillip Hickey throwing what was described as an indoor baseball base at a student’s chest. Authorities said the object was thrown at the student in response to the teacher being hit by a small squishy toy that was thrown at him.

The student’s parent requested a citizen’s arrest be made for battery charges.

Hickey was arrested and booked on charges of battery on school grounds and misdemeanor child abuse.
