A former high school teacher in Connecticut is under investigation for allegedly violently wrestling with male students and giving them wedgies.

Police say Gregg Gustafson would wrestle with boys inside their homes, after telling their parents he was there to tutor them.

He's also accused of slamming one boy to the ground, and tying his hands behind his back.

Gustafson has resigned from Stratford High School.

Police say they arrested him, after he tried to pay off one of the boys to change his story.

He's charged with tampering with a witness and bribery.
