An Alabama high school teacher turned herself in to authorities Thursday amid allegations she had “inappropriate communications” with a student.

Heartlee Pittman, a 25-year-old teacher at New Brockton High School in Coffee County, was charged on a count of being a school employee distributing or soliciting obscene material to or from a student — a misdemeanor –, the sheriff’s office said.

Authorities received a report of “possible inappropriate communications” between a teacher and a student under 19 years old at New Brockton High.

The investigation yielded an arrest warrant for Pittman, who lives in Troy.

She was booked into the Coffee County Jail on $1,500 bond.

Further information was unavailable.
