Conway teacher arrested over pupil contact

A Conway High School teacher who was arrested last week is accused of having inappropriate contact with a student, police said Monday.

Officers arrested 33-year-old Jesse Sublett, a construction teacher, shortly after 11 a.m. Friday on charges of criminal intent to engage children in sexually explicit conduct for use in visual or print medium, and harassment, a Class B felony and a Class A misdemeanor, according to a news release from Conway police.

Police said the student’s mother informed them of the situation, and an investigation took place.

In a Facebook post, the Conway School District said an employee who was arrested “is currently suspended,” and the district was cooperating with authorities during an investigation.

Sublett was booked into the Faulkner County jail.
