A Hall County grand jury has indicted a Gainesville Middle School teacher of simple battery stemming from a hallway incident with a student that was caught on video. The indictment accuses 25-year-old Joshua Streetman of intentionally making “physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature” against the 12-year-old student. Tamika Jackson, the victim’s mother, said she was excited and relieved upon learning Thursday of the indictment.
