Sheriff David Bartoni says 26-year-old Nicholas A. Price was arrested by detectives and a search warrant was carried out at his home. The sheriff noted the investigation continues and more arrests are possible.

At the time of his arrest, Price was working at Ewing Grade School as a substitute teacher and also served as an assistant Sunday school teacher at Immanuel Baptist Church in Benton.

Price’s brother-in-law, Jeremy Jackson, was arrested in 2018 for solicitation of a sexual act to a minor.

Jackson worked at Benton High School at the time he was charged.
