The teacher said he did not think the student was fighting back “and if he did, he did not feel it.”Ī school district spokesman did not respond to phone calls or texts Wednesday evening. The teacher said he “heard the word cracka and it wasn’t a big deal because he is half-white and Polynesian,” according to the arrest report. The teacher told deputies he pushed the student once outside the classroom “to separate themselves in case he was mad and could not hit me.” “I then treated him like any unruly student and grabbed him safely so he couldn’t hurt himself or anybody else.” There is no indication in the video or in the student’s statements to deputies that he was intending to hurt himself or others. Then the student was upset and stood up, according to the teacher. “That student,” he said, referring to him by name, “was being disobedient and not doing what he was supposed to do.” He said the student refused to turn down the music, then rapped out loud, and when the teacher went to mute the music again, the student allegedly slapped his hand away and turned the music back up. What students were interviewed by deputies said they had not witnessed the incident, though the video show one student clearly putting his hands on his head as he and another student kept their eyes trained on Paffumi as he trailed across the room.

There are very few students in the class: other than the alleged victim, just three are visible in the video, plus the student who shot it. The sheriff’s office says it’s unclear who shot the video. The boy’s father told Flagler County Sheriff’s deputies that what the boy had allegedly said was wrong, but wanted to pursue charges. The student said his breathing was never impeded. The student said Paffumi then grabbed him and threw him out. “You is a cracka,” the 14 year old student told the 47-year-old teacher. “I am not a cracka,” the teacher said (in the spelling used in Paffumi’s arrest report.) “Put my shit down cracka,” the student said he told the teacher. Paffumi muted it one or two more times, then held the computer over the student’s head. Paffumi went to his desk and himself muted the student’s computer. The student told Flagler County Sheriffs’s deputies that he was playing music on his computer during first period, in Paffumi’s class. On Wednesday afternoon, Paffumi, 47, was arrested on a battery charge and incarcerated at the Flagler County jail, where he remains on no bond at the time this story initially published. Paffumi then appears to use the boy’s body to open the classroom door, shoving him away from the classroom and into the hall.Īnother student caught the incident on video and sent the video clip to the student’s father.
The 14-second video a student captured in the classroom is brief but stark: a man who appears to be Jeffrey Allen Paffumi, the teacher at Buddy Taylor known as Rocco, snatches the 14-year-old student out of his seat by grabbing his right arm, lifts him out, hooks the student’s left arm with his own left arm from behind–what the student described as a choke hold–lifts him off his feet, then carries him across the room, telling the student: “Show me how tough you are.
