A Marshall man has plead guilty to an improper relationship with a student during his time as a teacher with Elysian Fields ISD.
Christopher Eppley, 38, plead guilty Monday morning in Judge Brad Morin’s court to a charge of improper relationship between educator/student. As part of a plea deal, Eppley accepted a six-year deferred adjudication sentence.
Harrison County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Eppley in March 2020 after they obtained a warrant for Eppley from County Court-at-Law Judge Joe Black following an investigation into a complaint about a student-teacher relationship. The relationship was with a student from another school district.
