Steven Chad Vickery, 37, a former eighth grade science teacher at Palmetto Middle School in Williamston, South Carolina has reportedly been arrested on allegations of inappropriate conduct with 13 and 14-year-old male students.
Vickery is reportedly charged with six counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
It is alleged that Vickery and the students played an inappropriate game of pulling their pants down to expose their buttocks during school hours. It is reportedly also alleged that Vickery had students play a game in which some students threw balls at the exposed buttocks of other students.
It is alleged that the events took place between October of 2008 and May of 2009.
In some reports it is indicated that Vickery came to the attention of authorities when students reported Vickery to school officials, who in turn contacted the Williamston Police Department.
In other reports it is indicated that Vickery came to the attention of authorities when a parent filed a report that he was involved in inappropriate activities with students.
In May, Vickery was reportedly placed on administrative leave and subsequently resigned.
Vickery turned himself in to the Anderson County Detention Center Friday afternoon and was subsequently released on $30,000 bond.
If convicted, Vickery faces up to three years in prison on each count.

Could have been worse. He could have had them throwing baseballs at the front side.
This guy could pass for 57 in the picture, and will surely look that old by the time he get through the trial. If he likes playing butt games in school, wait until he goes to jail. He’ll be very easy to find, because he’ll be the one walking bowlegged most of the time.
