Teacher arrested for allegedly creating ‘fight club’ inside special education classroom

According to CBS 17 , Federico Vargas, 41, a high school teacher in Cloverdale, CA, was arrested last week and charged with five counts of endangering a child and 13 counts of contributing to the delinquency of minors. The Cloverdale Police Department claim the charges stem from Vargas’ creating a ‘fight club’ inside his classroom.

“[Vargas] was refereeing the fights as you would see in a boxing ring or an MMA type fight,” said Sgt. Chris Parker. Authorities said that multiple students were injured in these incidents and one teen required medical treatment.
