Clark County sheriff’s deputies arrested an athletic trainer at Hockinson High School on suspicion of sexual misconduct with a minor enrolled at the school.
The sheriff’s office said Jason Meharry, 26, was booked on suspicion of three counts of first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor on Thursday. He is expected to make a first appearance on the allegations Friday morning in Clark County Superior Court.
Meharry works at ProActive Physical Therapy Specialists in Vancouver and is a contract sports trainer for the high school, according to the sheriff’s office.
Administrators in the district heard about the possibility of inappropriate conduct between Meharry and a student March 23 and immediately placed Meharry on leave and notified his employer, according to a letter sent home to families Thursday. The district also contacted the sheriff’s office.
