An Eastern Hancock County school teacher has been suspended with pay and charged with battery. Middle school teacher Steve
Hilton is accused of inappropriately touching seven of his young students. The girls, ages 11 and 12, told investigators that

down in a trash can. Hilton was released from jail Tuesday after posting a $1,500 bond.
