(MSC News)--A former school paraprofessional at the joint Perry-Lecompton High School and Middle School is accused of sending inappropriate text messages to a student.
WIBW-TV reports 57-year-old Michael Johnson was arrested Wednesday night by the Perry Police Department on three counts of promoting obscenity to a minor.
The Lawrence Police Department assisted in the arrest at Johnson’s home in Lawrence.
