According to his arrest report, the teacher told police that a group of four students became disruptive while he was teaching his math class and security had to be called.

As the four were leaving the classroom, Wilson picked up a plastic trash can and threw it at the teacher, hitting him on the side of his head, police said. 

Wilson was detained, booked into Duval County jail and released the next day on $10,000 bond, online jail records show.
