He was previously placed on administrative leave a week prior on Feb. 8 after OPD was notified by Opelika City Schools Administration regarding an incident between a student and Battle, which began the initial investigation.
Police ask that anyone with information regarding the case contact the OPD detective division at 334-705-5220, the secret witness hotline at 334-745-8665 or through the Opelika Police mobile app. You may wish to remain anonymous.
