During the course of their investigation, police determined that Hart was making inappropriate comments toward a student.

On Tuesday, Hart was taken into custody and charged with two counts of child exploitation.

Police say that this remains an ongoing investigation.

WREG reached out to the DeSoto County District Attorney’s Office for comment and they said the following:

“The DA’s office is aware of the Tyler Hart arrest, but we defer questions to the Southaven Police Department as they continue their investigation. This is a developing situation, and we cannot comment further until after we receive a file from the Southaven PD.”

We will update this story as more information becomes available.
