Queen Creek high school teacher arrested, accused of sharing “inappropriate image” with student

PHOENIX — A Queen Creek high school teacher was arrested on Friday for inappropriate behavior with a student, authorities said.

Brett Smith, 56, was a teacher at Crismon High School, according to the Queen Creek Police Department.

Police responded to the school, which is at 21942 E. Riggs Road, on April 19, authorities said. They had received reports of an incident between a teacher and a student.

It is unclear whether Smith is still employed at the high school, however.
