Southington High School Teacher in Rehab Following Removal from Classroom

A Southington High School teacher was removed from the high school and is now at a rehab facility after students said he appeared intoxicated in class.

John Hansen was removed from the classroom Thursday following the incident, according to the Record-Journal. His employment status hasn’t been determined.

A source told WTNH that Hansen wet himself and pinned a student up against a wall, but school administrators wouldn’t confirm the account.
