A charter high school teacher in Texas was arrested last week for allegedly having an improper relationship with a juvenile student, authorities say.

Newman International Academy teacher Alberto De La Cruz, 34, was charged with an improper relationship between educator and student on Friday. The offense is a second-degree felony.

The suspect was arrested by Newman International Academy Department of Public Safety officers in Arlington after a week-long investigation. Authorities have not released details about De La Cruz's alleged relationship with the student, but law enforcement found probable cause to arrest him.

Newman International Academy police told Fox News Digital found that De La Cruz's interactions with a student were "illegal, inappropriate, unprofessional, and unacceptable."

When the school district was informed of the allegations, they placed him on paid administrative leave.

De La Cruz worked for the Newman International Academy District for seven years, according to school documents. He was an athletic director at the high school on Gibbons Road during the 2022-2023 school year.

Newman International Academy Department of Public Safety said that De La Cruz no longer works for the district and is not permitted to return to campus.

"Newman International Academy and its police department take the safety and well-being of our students and staff very serious and will not tolerate inappropriate relationships between employees and students," the statement read.

Ellis County Sheriff's Office told Fox News Digital that De La Cruz was booked into a local jail. The suspect was then released on a $35,000 bond. 

Pat Sajak's rapport with "Wheel of Fortune" co-host Vanna White has extended past television and into White's home, more specifically her backyard, according to Sajak.

During the end credits of Tuesday night's episode, Sajak asked White, "So, when you're away from the exciting world of show business do you have a place you go to relax? To get away from it all - kind of your den?"

"Yes, in my garden in my backyard. Yeah, it’s peaceful it’s quiet, there's trees, there’s birds," she answered.

"That’s a nice change of pace," Sajak responded.

"How about you," White retorted.

"You don't know this, but it's actually your garden," Sajak joked, much to White's bemusement and the audience's laughter. 

"I'm usually there about two, three in the morning. Don't be alarmed."

One fan took notice of the exchange, writing on Twitter, "Pat Sajak with a stalker joke to end the night???? #wheeloffortune."

Speaking about her relationship with Sajak to People Magazine last December, White said, "I think when Merv Griffin chose both of us, 40 and 41 years ago, he saw something between us — a brother-sister type relationship. … And I think that is kind of what it is. He saw that we would be able to get along, and we do. We are like a brother and sister team."

Sajak and White have always bantered on-air. Last month, White sided with Sajak's wife Lesly, when the host referenced a joke that did not sit well with her.

"I do this … this thing I do every one of Lesly's birthdays and she absolutely hates it," he said. "We put a cake in front of her, she closes her eyes, she makes a wish, and when she blows out the candle, I clutch my heart and fall to the ground."

Sajak added his wife is not fond of his heart attack prank.

"She never finds that amusing, I don't understand," he added. "Don't you find that funny," he asked White.

"No," she responded without the slightest of smiles.

All Sajak could respond with was an "Okay."
