HOOVER, Ala. An employee of the Hoover School District came under suspicion of distributing obscene materials after a tip was sent to police.
According to ALEA, an investigation followed and the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) unit executed a search warrant as part of an ongoing investigation.
ALEA identified the suspect as Darrell W. Alldredge, 51, of Odenville and said that he was arrested at Hoover High School without incident and charged with two counts of dissemination of obscene matter and booked into the Jefferson County jail.
According to court documents, the obscene matter included two victims, both girls. One girl was under the age of 16 and one was under the age of 3.
School officials say that they were notified that the employee was arrested by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA). The employee was immediately placed on administrative leave and prohibited from all Hoover City School properties.
“The district is cooperating with ALEA in their investigation as the safety and well-being of our students and staff are our highest priority. We have no reason to believe that any of our students were involved, and there is no indication of any impact on school safety,” wrote school officials.
This is an ongoing investigation and more charges are possible.
