An Alabama judge is accusing a Texas superintendent of being a "vicious bully" and a "thug, Fox 26 reported.

Alabama's 10th District Circuit Court Judge David Carpenter attended Taylor High School with Katy ISD Superintendent Lance Hindt in 1982. Hindt is receiving national criticism after a Texas man accused Hindt of beating him up in a restroom and shoving his head in a urinal when they were in junior high.

Carpenter said he witnessed Hindt's bullying behavior multiple times.

"He was a vicious bully. He was a thug. He was a wealthy thug, but he was a thug," Carpenter told the news station. "He liked to brag about beating up other people and at one point he even bragged about beating up a police officer."

Carpenter described Hindt's bullying as frightening and near constant. He told the news station he felt obligated to speak out after reading Hindt's denial about the allegations.

"He was physically threatening some of my teammates, just menacing them, standing over them and eventually started throwing weight plates at them, 25-pound weight plates at them," Carpenter alleges.
