Student Showed Photos of Scratches
The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department received a report from Laquey High School staff, leading to Clifton-Carmack’s arrest.
A student presented photos of the classmate with scratches, claiming they resulted from the teacher’s actions during an alleged encounter in the classmate’s driveway.
The reporting student described the teacher as being overly friendly with students and occasionally dressing inappropriately at school. Additionally, the teenager’s father faces charges for allegedly knowing about the teacher-student relationship.
Police Investigation
Investigators visited the school on December 8, seized Clifton-Carmack’s phone, and, after obtaining a warrant to unlock it, discovered incriminating messages.
The teacher initially denied any relationship with students outside of school, but the obtained texts reportedly contained references to the alleged inappropriate relationship. Court documents suggest Clifton-Carmack often wore revealing clothing.
The teacher had left Missouri to visit family in Texas on December 23 and was arrested on Friday after fleeing from Missouri. She was apprehended in the Laquey R5 school district without incident and booked into the Comal County Jail.

Charges
Clifton-Carmack faces charges including s*xual contact with a student, statutory r*pe in the second degree, endangering the welfare of a child, and child molestation involving a victim under the age of 17.
The teenager’s father was arrested in Missouri on charges of endangering the welfare of a child, accused of knowing about the relationship and not reporting it. Court documents allege that he actively covered for the teacher-student relationship.
The Laquey R-5 School District expressed its stance on the situation, emphasizing that while charges do not equate to a conviction, the alleged misconduct is considered inexcusable and falls short of professional standards.
The district took swift action upon learning of the situation, initiating an ongoing investigation.
