A secretary at Payson Jr. High School has been arrested for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a minor.

Police say Montreia Lynn Barney, 49, was arrested on May 5 by the Utah County Sexual Crimes Task Force.

According to a probable cause statement, Barney engaged in a sexual relationship with a former student who was 16 at the time. At the time of the relationship, Barney was a finance secretary at Mount Nebo Jr. High School. 

Police say the minor's brother caught the two in an LDS church parking lot engaging in sexual behavior. 

She was charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a 16- or 17-year-old. She posted bail and was released after being booked into jail.

Provo High School students are speaking out a day after a School Resource Officer was fired for alleged inappropriate conduct.

Officer Cody Harris was dismissed from the Provo Police Department Thursday after an internal investigation. A press release from Provo PD indicates Harris “used extremely poor judgment” during a May 2 birthday party at the school.

Students had planned to protest at the police department Friday afternoon, but the protest was not held.  They said they have at least 200 student’s signatures on a petition to try to get Harris back on the payroll.

“I think it’s wrong that he got fired ‘cuz it was a joke” said Kameron Hamilton, a Provo High student.  “I support him.  I’m there for him ‘cuz it was a joke and I think it’s wrong.”
