Ex-Escambia Coach Convicted
March 10, 2012
An ex-Escambia High School coach was convicted Friday of one count of harassing or attempting to harass a witness, victim or informant.
Scott Anderson, who was the head football coach at Escambia High School, did try to influence or dissuade a football player from pursuing criminal charges against another teammate by
having an assistant coach tell the victim that if he were to continue pursuing charges he would be kicked off the football team, according to court testimony.
Judge Thomas Dannheisser scheduled a hearing for the court to make a determination on the defense’s motion for a judgment of acquittal on March 21, 2012. The defendant will also be sentenced on March 21, 2012 if the judge denies the motion filed by the defense.
The investigation and arrest were conducted by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
