McCandless Surrenders To Face New Charge

Larimer County Deputies Arrest Former Brighton Teacher At Detention Center

 Slideshow: Former Teacher In Court On Sex Charge

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) ― A teacher arrested for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 17-year old student turned herself into Larimer County authorities early Wednesday morning after a second warrant was issued for her arrest.

Carrie McCandless, 30, is now charged with a felony for contacting her alleged victim early last week. The district attorney says an arrest warrant was issued on Friday.

The district attorney told CBS4 the allegation is that McCandless tried to contact the 17-year-old boy, which is against the conditions of her $20,000 bond in the sex assault case.

The former teacher at Brighton Charter High School was being held without bond and will stay in custody until a judge has a chance to reconsider her bond. No hearing was immediately scheduled.

McCandless' attorney says the new charge is not true and the call may have been the work of a prankster.

A preliminary hearing for McCandless is set for Feb. 22 in Fort Collins on the original charges.
