In nearby Manchester, TN, the trial of former Coffee County High School baseball coach Brad Weir will not take place as a plea agreement was agreed upon Wednesday.

Weir was facing a 16-count indictment after being charged with having sex with a 15-year-old Coffee County student in 2015. He pled guilty to 3 counts. The arrangement means that Weir, age 47 will serve up to 8 years in state prison. Six of those years are to be served at 100 percent.
