A former high school teacher in Florida was arrested again for having alleged sexual relations with a student.
Arin Hankerd, a former gym teacher at Atlantic High School, was arrested on February 10 for having an alleged sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student in January, according to FOX 35.
The gym teacher resigned from his position before the school district could take action.
Hankerd was re-arrested on Tuesday and a judge ordered that he be held in jail without bond up until his trial. The state attorney’s office said that the suspect is a danger to the community.

The Tuesday arrest comes in relation to an incident where the former gym teacher is accused of sending inappropriate messages and having a sexual encounter with a 17-year-old student at Mainland High School in 2019.
He previously worked at Mainland High School then moved to Atlantic High School.
The teacher was sent a “letter of caution” in March 2020 after officials discovered that he talked with a female student about drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana.
