The teacher was nabbed at the weekend alongside four other suspects while looking for a potential customer to buy the tusks.
Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti said they arrested five suspects in the operation.
Their arrest came hardly a month after KWS reported that an elephant had been killed by suspected poachers around Emotoroki area in the county.
The suspects were using a vehicle and motorcycle owned by the deputy school head.
