An Alabama high school baseball player suffered a concussion after his teammates pelted him with pillows during a hazing incident, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday against his school district, principal, coaches and others.

Along with allegations of assault and battery and negligence, the lawsuit filed on behalf of Pell City High School student Jaiden Johnson by his parents also calls for the school’s baseball coach and assistant coach be fired.

Neither Pell City Schools Superintendent James Martin nor Pell City High School Principal Holly Costello could be reached for comment on the allegations.

Jaiden, a freshman on the high school’s junior varsity baseball team, attended a Midnight Madness event with his teammates at an indoor facility at the school on Jan. 16, where the 39 team members were to scrimmage, practice eat and socialize, according to the lawsuit filed in St. Clair County Circuit Court.

During the event, Jaiden’s teammates “repeatedly hazed [him] using various methods that constitute assault and battery,” the lawsuit alleged.

David Collins, the school’s head baseball coach, and John Gluschick, the assistant baseball coach, did not notify Jaiden’s parents of the hazing or the injuries he sustained, the suit claimed.

The next morning, Jaiden told his parents he didn’t feel well, but unaware that he was hazed, they required him to go to school.

As he was being taken to school, Jaiden told his parents that his teammates hit him with pillows while the lights were out during the event, and that he suffered “a busted [bloody] nose, became dizzy and had a headache.”

Jaiden’s coaches gave him some medication without notifying his parents if it was okay, the suit claimed.

Later that morning, Jaiden’s mother texted Collins her concern about the event. An hour later, she received a video from the Midnight Madness showing “baseball players hitting a child laying on the floor with pillows,” the lawsuit went on to state.

She then texted the video to her son, and while Jaiden said he was not the child shown in the video, he said the same thing happened to him.

She also showed the video to a school resource officer who was at the facility during Midnight Madness. She also showed the officer her son’s “blood-stained pillow.”

A doctor who treated Jaiden diagnosed him with a concussion, the lawsuit stated.

A meeting was held between Jaiden’s mother and Costello, the school’s principal, on Jan. 20, in which Costello said she interviewed eight players about the incident. She told Jaiden’s mother, “you may not see it on the outside, but rest assured it has been taken care of on the inside … you just need to trust me,’” the lawsuit stated.

Jaiden gave a verbal statement to school system officials and Pell City police on Feb. 1, but the department determined there was no ill intent “and the case was closed,” according to the suit.

Two days later, Jaiden’s parents were told by district and school officials that the district’s investigation would also be closed.

The lawsuit accuses the baseball team coaches and players who attended Midnight Madness of assault and battery.

The Pell City Police Department and school system were accused of acting in a “negligent … wanton and/or reckless manner and that those actions and inactions were the direct and proximate cause of Jaiden’s damages…”

Costello, the city of Pell City, the school system and others were accused of negligently hiring the coaches, who were “incompetent or unable to safely hold” the Midnight Madness event.
