UPDATE
On Friday, April 3, Channel 13 obtained a copy of a court document stating that Cole Horton took an Alford plea deal.

Horton is scheduled for sentencing on July 1.
ORIGINAL STORY
On Thursday, the CCSD Police Department shared that they have arrested a CCSD employee "on charges related to an inappropriate relationship with an individual who was a student during the 2024-25 school year."
This information comes one day after CCSD Police arrested a Basic Academy student for bringing a loaded gun to school. Authorities did not confirm if these two events were related.
30-year-old Cole Horton, a band teacher, was "last assigned to Basic Academy of International Studies," police said. He was put on paid leave following the "negotiated agreement with the bargaining unit," officials shared.
CCSD Police said that Horton was booked into the Clark County Detention Center.
