PEORIA — Police arrested a Peoria School District 150 teacher Tuesday night on suspicion of criminal sexual assault.

Veronica Dixon, 28, of 1622 N. Machin Ave., is a first-year seventh-grade teacher at Trewyn K-8 School, according to a news release from the school district. Peoria police did not provide further information about the arrest, including any relationship between Dixon and the victim. Chris Coplan, a district spokesman, said the district didn’t know any specifics of the arrest but had been told the allegations involved sexual misconduct.

State’s Attorney Jerry Brady said Thursday that “further investigation” was needed before charges, if any, were filed against her. She was released from the county jail later Thursday on a notice to appear for a court hearing on March 30.

Officer Amy Dotson, a Peoria police spokesman, confirmed Dixon’s arrest but declined to elaborate, referring all questions to Coplan.

In a news release, the district said it learned Jan. 27 of a police investigation regarding Dixon, who immediately was put on administrative leave. Informed Wednesday of the previous night’s arrest, the district put Dixon on unpaid administrative leave, pending the outcome of her case.

District 150 has seen a few of its teachers get into similar situations. In 2014, a former band teacher pleaded guilty to an inappropriate relationship that lasted for two years. A Manual Academy teacher was sentenced in 2013 to five years in prison for being in a sexual relationship with a student. And last year, a former Peoria High School teacher was arrested but never charged for alleged misconduct with students.
