2nd teacher accused of sex offenses

For the second time in less than a week, a popular teacher at a Howard County high school has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of sex offenses against students.





Police arrested Alan Meade Beier, a 52-year-old science teacher at the top-performing River Hill High School in Clarksville, yesterday at his home.

They say he undressed and photographed a 16-year-old male student Monday evening in his classroom. Police also say he fondled a 17-year-old female student on two occasions, most recently in the fall.

Beier, who was chosen River Hill's 2001 Teacher of the Year by the senior class, has been placed on administrative leave by the school system.

Herndon was wearing a jacket and strapless top and was changing in the girl's locker room at Palm Beach Gardens High School.

A teacher noticed the strapless top which is a dress code violation. Herndon says with the jacket though, the top is within dress code.
