A church volunteer is under arrest on suspicion of molesting a 9-year-girl at the church, Visalia police said Friday.

Dan Sisk, 34, of Visalia, was arrested Thursday after police investigated a complaint by the girl's parents stemming from an Aug. 20 incident at The Road church in the 1000 block of South Burke Street.

Operations pastor Brandon Hall said Sisk passed a criminal background check that included a fingerprint scan. He was a baby sitter for a Bible study group when the incident occurred, he said.

Sisk is being held at the Tulare County Jail on $100,000 bail.

He also worked as a volunteer at Central Valley Christian Preschool and Growing in Grace Preschool, but was never alone with children, police said.

Sisk volunteered at the preschools to get volunteer hours for his college child development courses, police said.

Sgt. Damon Maurice said anyone with additional information should call police at (559) 734-8116.
