An Illinois high school principal has resigned amid an investigation into allegations of aggravated battery.
According to NBC affiliate KTIV in Sioux City, Aaron Hill, principal of Frankfort Community High School in downstate West Frankfort, officially submitted his resignation on Monday as the investigation into criminal allegations against him continues.
According to authorities, Hill is facing charges of felony aggravated battery in relation to an incident earlier this year, which took place away from the school where he was employed.
He had been placed on administrative leave shortly before his arrest in February, and now he has resigned from his post with immediate effect.
Officials say the charges are not related to an in-school incident, but did not provide further details on the nature of the charges.
Hill was charged with felony aggravated battery, and an arrest warrant was issued earlier this year. He was taken into custody and held at the Franklin County Jail pending a pretrial detention hearing.
No further information was available.
