SHINNSTON, W.Va. -- A Harrison County fine arts teacher has been arrested for allegedly sending sexually explicit material to a minor.

Thomas Price, 42, of Shinnston was arrested at Lincoln High School on Thursday and charged with two counts of displaying and distributing obscene matter to a minor.

State Police Senior Trooper B.W. Claypool wouldn't give the victim's age, or say whether he's a student at the school.

Claypool says Price allegedly had sent the boy links to pornographic Web sites and sexually charged text messages since January. The investigation was prompted by a complaint from the victim's family.

Superintendent of Schools Susan Collins said Price has been placed on administrative leave pending the case's outcome.

A phone message left for a Thomas Price of Shinnston wasn't immediately returned today.
