A Howard County teacher was accused yesterday of sexually abusing two students at school -- the second teacher in the system to be arrested within a week on sexual abuse charges, police said.

Officers arrested Alan M. Beier, 52, a River Hill High School science teacher, yesterday at his home in Columbia and charged him with three counts of sexual child abuse, three counts of second-degree assault and three counts of fourth-degree sex offense.
