A GEORGIA teen accused of running over and killing a beloved maths teacher has posted a bizarre message online as he faces 15 years in prison.
Jayden Wallace, 18, was charged with vehicular homicide in the death of Jason Hughes, 40, after the teen and his friends tossed toilet paper at the teacher’s home in a high-school prank gone wrong.
Wallace recently proudly posted to Instagram about his Christian faith, referring to the Bible verse from Romans 10:9.
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved,” he wrote.
Of the suspects, Wallace faces the most serious charges in relation to Hughes’ death.
The charges include first-degree vehicular homicide, reckless driving, criminal trespass and littering on private property.
The teacher allegedly spotted pranksters “rolling” toilet paper across his property around 11.40pm, according to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
Police say the teacher allegedly tripped and fell onto the road as Wallace drove away in his pickup truck.
Hughes later died as a result of his injuries.
Wallace then allegedly ran over the homeowner.
The teen driver and two others stopped to check on Hughes after the tragic alleged collision.
They provided first aid until emergency responders arrived.
Hughes was rushed to hospital, but sadly later died from his injuries.
Wallace now faces between three and 15 years behind bars if he is convicted of the first charge.
According to WCBTV, his alleged co-pranksters — Elijiah Owens, Aiden Hucks, Ana Katherine Luque and Ariana Cruz, all 18 — were arrested outside Hughes’ home and also charged with criminal trespass and littering.
The teens’ social media accounts revealed them all to be close friends.
Cruz also expressed her love for Jesus online, with a post revealing she had previously travelled on a religious mission to the Dominican Republic.
Luque was involved with the Distributive Education Clubs of America club.
He was also planning to pursue a career in medicine in order to become a surgeon, according to North Hall High School, where all the students attended and Hughes taught.
Police are still investigating the fatal incident.
The teenager is currently being held on a $1,950 bond, according to the New York Post.
