For years North Marion High students in Ocala had complained someone was stealing out of their lockers.
A student set a trap to catch the thief -- he put his cell phone in one of the lockers in an otherwise empty locker room.
The trap worked: the phone videotaped a veteran teacher going through student lockers.
About 20 minutes after students showed the phone recording to a school resource officer, Steven Simmons, the school gym teacher, was arrested.
Simmons, 49, admitted to stealing for years, taking some $400 so far this year, reports AP.
A school resource officer said the 24 minutes and 32 seconds long video showed Simmons enter one locker and search a pair of pants. He was also seen going into several lockers while the students were in the gym, reports Ocala.com
Simmons resigned on Friday morning.
