Daniel Brian Fleming was formerly employed at a private school in Chesapeake and involved at a local church, according to police.
News 3 had a call with Greenbrier Christian Academy's Superintendent, Dr. Ron White. White confirmed Fleming worked at the school until mid-2023, before getting a new job at StoneBridge School in Chesapeake.
News 3 reached out to StoneBridge for comment, but they were unavailable. The documents state that Fleming was unemployed at the time of his arrest.
News 3 also went to the neighborhood where Fleming lived to see if neighbors knew him. This was a quiet neighborhood, with kids riding around on bikes and families out working in yards.

Fleming is scheduled for a bond hearing on Friday, April 12 at 9:30 a.m.
