Parker County Sheriffâs Criminal Investigation Division arrested a female teacher Friday evening in connection with having an improper relationship between an educator and a student. Â
Parker County Sheriff Russ Authier said the suspect is identified as Misty Lorene Cato, 43, of Springtown. Â
The student reported the abuse began when he was 15 years old and a student in Azle, and continued for several years at various addresses in Parker and Tarrant counties, including a previous residence of Catoâs in Springtown. The victim also reported Cato gave him rides to school on several occasions. Â
Cato, a fifth-grade arithmetic teacher at Springtown Intermediate School, was placed on administrative leave once school officials became aware of the allegations. Â
