A Clark County School District employee was arrested Thursday on theft and other charges, school police said.

Roy Goodell, 48, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of obtaining money under false pretense, theft and grand larceny between $1,200 an $5,000.

Goodell has been employed with the school district since 2002, and he is currently working from home, the school district said.

An investigation related to Goodell’s charges was launched in March at Sierra Vista High School, officials said, but the school district did not elaborate on the allegations.

Public payroll data showed Goodell has previously taught health, history and physical education for the school district.

He is being held on $3,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court Friday.
