TARBORO, N.C. (WTVD) -- A 41-year-old Edgecombe County charter school teacher was arrested Wednesday after being accused of having sex with a student.

During the investigation, it was revealed that school officials had been made aware of these concerns recently. School officials said they took immediate action to prevent any further potential contact between Vick and the student.
