STARKVILLE, Miss. (WTVA) -- A Starkville school teacher has resigned following his arrest last week.

Young was charged of DUI-second, assaulting a law officer, fleeing from a law officer, malicious mischief, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
Starkville school officials say they did not become aware of the arrest until Thursday.
