A Woodlawn High School teacher has been arrested following allegations that he showed inappropriate images to a 15 year-old student.

The investigation began late last month, after the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office was told of suspected inappropriate communication from a teacher, 28 year-old Demetric A. Preston, to a student at Woodlawn High School.

The 15 year-old student told school officials that Preston had shown them nude images of himself during the first week of school.

Investigators collected statements and seized Preston's cell phone as evidence. After an investigation, it was determined that Preston had committed the crime of indecent behavior with juveniles.

CPSO arrested him and took him to the Caddo Correctional Center, where he was booked on the aforementioned charge.

During the investigation, the Caddo Parish School Board placed Preston on leave and removed him from the classroom. The investigation is still ongoing.
