BALDWIN — A teacher was arrested for indecent behavior with juveniles after allegedly having private texts with a student that were of "a sexual nature," the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office said. 

Deputies said that Akeem Broussard, 24, was allegedly texting a juvenile during school hours. 

St. Mary Parish Public Schools issued a statement saying that they contacted officials on Oct. 26 after allegations of inappropriate text messages exchanged between an employee and a student. He is no longer employed by St. Mary Parish Public Schools.

Officials did not immediately provide information on where Broussard taught; he was arrested on Nov. 10.
