NORWICH – A Norwich City School District business teacher resigned Thursday, two days after being arrested by Oneonta Police Department for public lewdness.

On Friday NCSD Superintendent Gerard O'Sullivan issued a statement to say Norwich High School Business Teacher Benjamin Truesdail resigned from the district on Thursday. He had worked for the school since Sept. of 2016.

"I understand it was a personal decision that had nothing to do with the Norwich City School District and certainly nothing to do with any of our students and staff," said O'Sullivan.

On Friday the City of Oneonta Police Department confirmed Truesdail was arrested on Tuesday for public lewdness, a class B misdemeanor.
