Police caught on to Brown after arresting him on multiple felony counts of indecent exposure to at least five women and one child in the State Line Avenue/I-30 area of Texarkana, AR. Brown also faces failure to register as a sex offender charges in both Arkansas and Texas.
TISD educators say they were not aware of Brown's criminal past. Brown was not directly employed by the school district. He worked for a construction sub-contractor installing lighting in Texas High's new performing arts center. TISD superintendent James Henry Russell says Texas law only requires the district to do background checks of workers who have direct contact with students. Brown did not have contact with students, according to Russell.
Brown remains in the Miller County Jail awaiting his first court appearance.
