   Police have arrested a longtime Mendota Unified educator on   
   charges of molesting second graders. Officers say 49-year-old   
   Richard Garcia inappropriately touched several kids as a   
   teacher. He is now a principal in the district.   
      
   In his mugshot, Garcia is seen wearing his McCabe polo. His   
   friends say he was passionate about children, steadily climbing   
   up the ranks to his current position.   
      
   Detectives are now saying his intentions weren't so pure.   
      
   "It's surprising, you never expect a teacher to be that loved by   
   the kids to be committed by that crime," said Adrian Guevara, a   
   former Mendota Unified student.   
      
   Police arrested Garcia Wednesday after four students accused him   
   of inappropriate touching. All the alleged crimes happened on   
   campus, during school hours while he taught second grade at   
   Washington Elementary. Guevara's sister was one of his students.   
      
   "Since the whole entire time I've known her, second grade   
   changed her the most. There's always that grade or teacher who   
   inspired you to do good in school...for my sister it was that   
   teacher," said Guevara.   
      
   Mendota Police opened up the investigation four months ago when   
   a young lady claimed she was molested in Garcia's class. She   
   claimed the touching happened between the years of 2012 to 2014   
   and suggested there could be other victims.   
      
   "It is very important for parents to have a close relationship   
   with their children," said Mendota Police Chief Gregg Andreotti.   
   "So that if their child is a victim, unfortunately, that they   
   would be comfortable enough to go to their parents."   
      
   Parents tell us Garcia worked several different jobs in the   
   district, including that of the groundskeeper, bus driver, and   
   vice principal. The Mendota Unified School District has placed   
   him on administrative leave. Garcia faces four counts of sex   
   offenses. His bail is set at $480,000.
