Dube is still in custody and his next hearing is scheduled for Monday.

Aarion L. Gray, general director of instructional services, said Dube is on administrative leave from USD 501.

“We have not been made aware of any incident occurring on school property by law enforcement,” Gray said. “Personnel matters are confidential, therefore, no additional information is available at this time.”

The U.S. Secret Service and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation are investigating this case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Hunting is prosecuting Dube.

Possible penalties include 10 years of imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.
