It was about a week ago that 30 year old La Pine resident and former high school cheer coach Nicole Mickelson was arrested on various sex abuse and alcohol charges.

The Deschutes County Sheriff was tipped in March to the rumors that Mickelson was allegedly involved with a 17 year old boy inappropriately.

The investigation led to charges being filed against her last week.

An unidentified student at La Pine High spoke with our news partner - News Channel 21 about Mickelson.

"She was nice. She definitely got along with everybody; kind of had that high school mentality, so she kind of fit in, and I never expected that."

School District officials say Mickelson resigned from her position before the investigation was completed.

She currently is out on bail and will be in court on May 2nd.
