David Lee Davis was arrested on Oct. 10 on a charge that he molested a 15-year-old student.

The Volusia County Sheriff's Department was investigating Davis, a 62-year-old Port Orange resident, after a school resource deputy was notified on Sept. 27 of the molestation.

Davis is charged with lewd or lascivious battery on a victim under the age of 16. He was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail, where he will be held without bond.
