Greensboro, NC - Police charged a former Grimsley High School teacher with two counts of indecent liberties with a student.

According to the Guilford County School District, 29-year old Stanley Jones, III started at Grimsley High School in 2003.  He resigned from his position October 20, 2009, just days before police arrested him.

Guilford County School District says no one is available to comment about this situation on camera, but released this statement:

 "A former Grimsley High teacher was arrested Friday, Oct. 23, 2009 based on charges of taking indecent liberties with a student. The teacher had resigned Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2009. We take great pride in the quality of our staff at Guilford County Schools, and want to assure our students and their parents that this is not reflective of the outstanding team of educators we have across our district."

The Guilford County Jail says Jones, posted a $5,000 bond Friday and was released.

His first court date is November 30.
