LENOIR COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) -A South Lenoir High School interventionist was arrested Friday by the Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office and charged with indecent liberties with a student and disseminating sexual content to someone under 16-years-old.

Lindsay Gardner, 32, of Pink Hill was released from custody after posting a secured bond.

Gardner was no longer employed with Lenoir County Public Schools before the arrest.

The LCSO immediately launched an investigation and received assistance from the N.C. State Crime Lab for processing of digital evidence.

An interventionist is a school system employee who works with students who may have fallen behind their classmates or to eliminate disruptive and negative behaviors.
