Substitute teacher sent student inappropriate messages on Snapchat, SC cops say
A substitute teacher is in jail after he’s accused of sending inappropriate messages to a student via a popular social media app, according to South Carolina authorities.
Tamaric Develle Jones, 25, was arrested and charged with criminal solicitation of a minor on Dec. 14, the Williamsburg County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
The alleged incident occurred in mid-October while Jones was working as a substitute teacher at C.E. Murray High School in Greeleyville, according to deputies. Investigators said he told a class of students he was overseeing to follow him on Snapchat.

Jones was booked into the Williamsburg County Detention Center.
