CINCINNATI — All charges against the former Archbishop Moeller High School president arrested in Nashville have been dismissed, according to court records in Davidson County, Tennessee.
James Marshall Hyzdu stepped down from his position in early April after he was arrested in March and charged with one count of criminal trespassing, one count of disorderly conduct and one count of public intoxication.
The three charges have since been dismissed, court records show.
"Mr. Hyzdu looks forward to putting this incident behind him, and to focusing on a healthy and productive future for himself and his family," his attorney said in a release.
An arrest report shows police were called to a bar on Broadway in Nashville on March 9. Security removed Hyzdu from the bar, but he came back, according to the arrest report. He returned and was removed from the bar multiple times, the police report says.
When police arrived after security called them, officers noted Hyzdu was highly intoxicated, according to the arrest report. They wrote they took him into custody because they believed him to be a danger to himself and others; he was officially arrested the next day, on March 10, court records show.
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati and Moeller High School placed Hyzdu on administrative leave before the school announced he was stepping down on April 3.
"My recent actions did not align with Moeller's values or those of the Catholic Church," Hyzdu said in a statement after his resignation. "It is in the best interest of the Moeller community that I now step down to allow the school to continue to thrive without distraction."
The archdiocese said it will work with the Moeller board immediately to search for a new president. The hope is to fill the position by the 2024-25 school year, but Principal Carl Kremer will serve as interim president in the meantime.
