SPRING VOLLEYBALL COACH ARRESTED!

THREE COUNTS OF IMPROPER RELATIONS WITH A STUDENT!

This is a story the Insite broke several weeks ago. Now the details and the coach's name have been released:

A second Spring ISD teacher is accused of having an improper relationship with a student. Matthew Tillman was arrested Saturday and charged with three counts of improper relations with a student.

Tillman taught history and coached volleyball at Spring High School for the last 10 years. Earlier this month, he was placed on administrative leave while Spring ISD Police Department investigated the allegations.

In a letter posted on Spring High School's website, the principal, Donna Ulrich says, "It is distressing to say the least that another teacher has broken the trust that parents and the greater community should be able to expect from every educator. Let me assure you that we have hundreds of fine, upstanding teachers in our school that would not break that trust, and we are committed to weeding out those who do."

Ulrich also urges all students to contact any administrator or counselor at the school, Spring ISD Police or Crime Stoppers if they feel threatened by anyone.

Tillman is currently being held in Harris County Jail on $150,000 bond and will make his first court appearance on Monday.
