ORIGINAL STORY
A former teacher within the Clark County School District wanted for multiple counts of sexual misconduct dating back to 2012 was arrested in Texas this week.

Alexander Hunt, 49, was taken into custody by the Corsicana Police Department and U.S. Marshals on April 25.

Hunt was wanted on eight counts of sexual conduct by a teacher in the state of Nevada, according to authorities.

The Corsicana Police Department said it received notification from the U.S. Marshals Service office requesting assistance in locating and apprehending the 49-year-old fugitive.
