A middle school teacher in West Virginia was arrested and charged with child abuse, stemming from incidents where police say the teacher used duct tape on a student, "in the middle of class."

West Virginia State Police arrested Cassandra Sisler on Friday after a student reported four incidents where the Central Preston Middle School teacher is alleged to have, "put duct tape over [the juvenile’s] mouth from ear to ear," according to the criminal complaints obtained by USA Today.

West Virginia State Police officers met with Preston County prosecutors and an unnamed minor on Friday where the minor stated that Sisler was his teacher and used duct tape on him in four consecutive days in early October.

In one complaint the minor said that Sisler, "also grabbed his hands and wrapped his wrists in duct tape."

In the final complaint the minor said that Sisler, "got a stronger tape and wrapped it around his head over his mouth and onto his shoulders."

Sisler has been charged with four counts of child abuse. She has been released on bond, according to WBOY.

Preston County School Superintendent Brad Martin did not comment on Sisler's employment but told WBOY that the Board of education, "contacted the appropriate authorities and are cooperating and taking all necessary actions while the situation is being investigated.”
