Prosecutor drops domestic violence case against ex-Texas basketball coach Chris Beard
AUSTIN — A Texas prosecutor on Wednesday moved to dismiss a felony domestic violence case against former Texas basketball coach Chris Beard, in part because of the alleged victim's wishes not to prosecute.
Beard, a graduate of McCullough High School , was arrested Dec. 12 after Trew called 911 and told officers Beard strangled, bit and hit her during a confrontation in his home. She later said Beard acted in self-defense and that she never wanted him prosecuted. Beard's attorney has said the coach is innocent.
