TX principal accused in school cage fights involved fatal shooting, own kidnapping.

This guy sounds like a piece of work. From Dallas News:

Reports that former South Oak Cliff High School principal Donald Moten sent troubled students into a steel utility cage to fight aren't the first blemishes on his résumé.

The DISD hired Moten despite his checkered history at the Dallas Police Department – one that included staging his own kidnapping and the fatal shooting of an elderly crime-watch volunteer.

South Oak Cliff High School was stripped of its 2006 state basketball championship after investigators determined Moten had coerced teachers into changing athletes' grades.

Moten, 56, resigned from the district after an investigation into allegations that student athletes' grades were changed so they could remain academically eligible to play basketball. Moten also had gotten tangled up in the DISD's "P-card" credit card scandal. And he was accused of gambling away funds raised at unauthorized high school pep rallies.

[...] Moten joined the Dallas Police Department in 1986. In 1987, he and a colleague were involved in the fatal shooting of an 81-year-old man who fired a rifle in their direction.
