BELLEVIEW, Fla.— A Marion County elementary school teacher is accused of inappropriately touching a boy who attends the same school where he works, according to CBS Orlando affiliate WKMG.
Kevin Tindall, 47, was arrested for lewd and lascivious molestation on a child under 12 years of age, WKMG reported.
WKMG said Belleview police told school officials about a claim made against Tindall earlier this month, causing him to be removed from the classroom and placed on administrative leave.
Marion County Public Schools spokesman Kevin Christian told WKMG a police investigation and an internal investigation done by the school district will determine if Tindall will keep his job.
Tindall is being held on a $50,000 bond at the Marion County Jail.
