Vice Principal Pleads Guilty Gets Probation

I just thought I’d let you all know that WANE TV has done a follow up on Chris HAkes and his arrest. WANE TV Channel 15 was the only online source I could find about Chris Hakes after the original arrest was made public. I’d like to take this time to thank WANE TV and thier staff for taking the time to cover what our own Decatur Daily Democrat Newspaper failed to relay to the public. According to the Fort Wayne TV station Chris Hakes made a plea agreement. He plead guilty to Conversion which is a Class A Misdemeanor. Hakes was sentenced to 1 year probation. It appears that he also gave a brief interview and admits his mistakes. I’m not certain if there will be any action taken by the school board or not. While Chris Hakes did commit a crime and betrayed the trust of the students and parents of Bellmont Middle School, I for one am glad to see him face up to his crime. I feel for his family and the headache this I’m sure this has caused. You can read the full story at WANE TV I’d also like to thank all the readers that have voiced their opinions and made the Fort Wane News Stations aware of the incident.

    We’ll have to wait and see if the School board decides to take any action or not. It doesn’t really suprise me that they didnt return any calls

    Well, well. Being in power does have it’s disadvantages, especially when those around you create stress. However, I’m sure there are many things that the powerful has done that assited in causing his own stress. Many incorrect decisions have been made in a year by those in power.
