A Florida teacher has been arrested for having an alleged “inappropriate sexual relationship” with a 15-year-old student, according to the Port Orange Police.
Arin Hankerd, a gym teacher and football coach at Atlantic High School, was arrested Feb. 10 after police completed a search warrant of his home, according to the Port Orange Police. Police received a report on Friday that Hankerd was allegedly engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old student since the beginning of January.
“This evening, Volusia County Schools learned about a teacher from Atlantic High School being arrested for alleged inappropriate behavior with a student,” the school district said in a statement to WESH News. “The safety and security of our students and staff is of utmost importance to us and as such, we will be cooperating fully with the local authorities as part of this investigation.”
The school district indefinitely suspended Hankerd while police and the school complete an investigation into the accusations, WESH News reported. Hankerd taught and coached within the school district for two years.
Hankerd is facing multiple charges for an “inappropriate sexual relationship” and being held on a $115,000 bond, the police reported.
“Our investigation is on-going and we are requesting anyone with information about Arin Hankerd, to please contact Detective Kelsie Nugent,” the police said in a statement.
Port Orange Police, Volusia County Schools and Atlantic High School did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
