SOUTHBURY — A Newtown resident and teacher at Pomperaug High School was arrested Monday after police said he let the air out of a students tires in the school’s parking lot.

According to police, Edward Kimble, 52, of Hanover Road, a teacher at the high school, turned himself in on Monday after learning that there was a warrant for his arrest stemming from an incident on June 1. Police said they received reports that Kimble had let the air out of the front tire of a student’s vehicle that was located in the teacher’s parking lot.

Police said the student had been given permission by security officials to park in the teachers lot at the time due to spaces being unavailable in the student parking lot.

Kimble, who was charged with second-degree reckless endangerment, was released on a $500 bond and is expected to appear at the Superior Court in Waterbury for his arraignment on Aug. 10.
