On Monday, the school system announced that it had placed Acker on leave with pay while it looked into an incident involving Acker being arrested and charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing at Thompson High School.
Alabaster police say they arrested Acker at about 1 p.m. Saturday at the school after responding to a call about a burglary in progress.
A witness notified police that he had seen a man trying to climb through a window at the school, police said.
"Mr. Acker stated that he entered the school to retrieve a personal item, which school officials were able to confirm," the school system said today in a news release. "Charges against Mr. Acker are still pending with the city of Alabaster Municipal Court."
Acker, a former Alabaster city councilman, is the son of Shelby County Commissioner Dan Acker Sr.
He is the brother of Daniel M. Acker Jr., a retired fourth grade teacher who is currently being held in the Shelby County Jail on six counts of child sexual abuse.
