An Anniston High School teacher surrendered to authorities Friday after he was charged for sexual involvement with a student.

Shedric Bernard Long, 46, was booked into the Calhoun County Jail about 8 a.m., said Anniston police Sgt. Kyle Price. He is charged with two crimes - a felony and a misdemeanor.

According to the school's website, Long works in the Career Technical Education Department teaching criminal justice, among several other courses.

Price said they a student came forward on Sept. 6 with an alleged sexual offense that took place at the high school. The following day, Long was put on administrative leave.

"We took it from there,'' Price said. "We looked into it, and were able to get a pretty good amount of information."

On Thursday, investigators took that information to the Calhoun County District Attorney's Office, which issued warrants against Long for second-degree sexual abuse, a misdemeanor, and a school employee having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19, a felony.

Price said they are not releasing any additional information at this time about the victim or the allegations against Long. He was released from jail later Friday morning after posting $14,000 bond.
