(updated) (Clarinda, Iowa) – A hazing incident in the Clarinda School District did not result in criminal charges. KETV says the Clarinda Police Department confirmed the incident occurred Aug. 26 after a physical-education class, when two Clarinda High School students forced another student to do push-ups in a shower before urinating on him.

No staff members witnessed the incident. The student reported it to school leaders on Aug. 29 after allegedly being bullied again at lunch. The school district sent an email to parents saying consequences have been handed out for the violation of bullying and harassment.
