Glen Allen High School band director arrested

The Glen Allen High School band director was arrested last week and is accused of taking indecent liberties with a former student in Spotsylvania County.

Ryan Addair, 41, is alleged to have committed the offenses during the month of March 2020 while employed as band director at Chancellor High School in Spotsylvania. He left the school at the end of the 2019-20 school year and accepted the job of band and orchestra director at Glen Allen High in July 2020.

Addair is currently on unpaid administrative leave in Henrico, according to school system officials. He was released from Spotsylvania Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond May 23 after being arraigned there. If convicted, he faces five years in jail and would be required to register as a sex offender.
