Police: Scott HS principal charged after being seen in video serving alcohol to minors

The principal of a Northern Kentucky high school has been charged with providing alcohol to minors, police say.

On Dec. 31, 2023, Scott High School Principal Anthony Procaccino, of Independence, was captured on video inside his home holding a multi-hosed funnel known as a "beer bong" while two juveniles drank alcohol from it, according to a news release from Kenton County Police Department.

The teens in the videos were identified as students of Scott High School and Simon Kenton High School, and ranged in age from 16 to 17 years old, police said. Procaccino was the principal of White's Tower Elementary School at the time of the incident.

Procaccino, 50, is charged with two counts of violating a Kentucky law that prohibits anyone from aiding or assisting any person under 21 from being served alcoholic beverages. Each count is punishable by a fine of up to $250.

The initial complaint was brought forward by the mother of one of the involved juveniles, who provided videos of the incident, according to the release. Police notified the parents of all the juveniles pictured in the videos that night.
