Teacher beats up student who owed him money for weed | New York Post
A Bronx charter school teacher recruited a student to help him score $4,000 worth of marijuana — and he beat the teen senseless him when he found out the kid pocketed the cash, police sources said Friday.
Kevin Pope, 48, also stole the teen’s iPhone and wallet, and threatened to sexually assault his mother if he didn’t get his money back, the sources said.
Pope, a science teacher at the John V. Lindsay Wildcat Academy in Hunts Point, was arrested Friday morning and charged with assault and robbery for the attack a day earlier.
Pope had asked students around the school back in June if they knew a drug dealer — and they put him in touch with the teen, who promised he could score a large stash of drugs from his contact in Manhattan, sources said.
Pope gave the kid $4,000 for the hefty purchase, the sources said.
The unidentified teen told cops he met the dealer near Central Park, but was told that the amount he was seeking would cost $7,000, sources said.
The student instead blew off the transaction and spent the money, according to the sources.
Three months later, shortly after the start of the new school year, Pope found the teen about two blocks away from the Lafayette Ave. building — and demanded he give him his money back, sources said.
When the student said it was gone, Pope allegedly socked him in the face multiple times and took his iPhone 6, gold chain and wallet containing the boy’s school ID and two MetroCards.
“I want my money in a month!” the teacher said to the student after the beat-down that left the student hospitalized, sources said.
A source said that Pope “threatened to have him beat up again and have his mother sexually assaulted.”
The student needed three staples in the back of his head, sources said.
Sources said the incident is on surveillance video.
The student attends Pope’s school, but it’s unclear if the teen was in that teacher’s class.
A Department of Education spokeswoman directed all questions to the charter school, which declined to comment.
Pope was awaiting arraignment at Bronx Criminal Court Friday night.

This shyt right here is pure comedy.
