Police arrested a 62-year-old teacher on a Chino elementary school campus this week and charged him with child abuse.
Chino police responded to a call Monday shortly after 3 p.m. and detained Ray Anthony Crummitt of West Covina at EJ Marshall Elementary School, where he taught.
It is unknown whether Crummitt was a full-time or substitute instructor. Calls and emails to the Chino Valley Unified School District communications department were not returned.
A Chino police spokesperson did not offer details about the abuse allegation, and would not confirm whether a tip from a student led to the arrest, as another media outlet reported. The spokesperson would only say that police and the school district were working together on an active investigation.
