HORATIO – An educator with the Horatio School District is facing a felony charge after she was arrested this week on suspicion of sexual involvement with a student.
Labrada Vann, 41, was arrested on the morning of Friday, April 8 on one count of first degree sexual assault. Vann serves as vice principal for Horatio High School.
According to the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, investigators were contacted by the Arkansas Crimes Against Children Hotline earlier this week in reference to a possible inappropriate relationship between Vann and a student. The sheriff’s office then began an investigation into the allegations. The sheriff’s office stated in a press release that information developed and an arrest warrant against Vann issued.
Vann was arrested Friday morning and transported to the Sevier County Detention Center. She is currently being held on a $100,000 bond.
The investigation is continuing and no other details are available at this time.
In a statement, the Horatio School District said it is aware of the arrest and that Vann is on administrative leave pending an investigation and will not be on campus.
“The District will fully cooperate with law enforcement authorities in order to assure the safety of District students, which is our first priority in the education of children. As this matter involves District personnel and implicates privacy considerations under applicable law, the District will have no further comment at this time,” the statement read.
