The Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrested him Friday on charges of criminal use of personal identification and scheming to defraud, obtaining property less than $20,000.

The couple, of 1741 35th St. N.W. in Winter Haven, stole the identities of at least three of his students, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Carrie Rodgers said.
