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.
