Ben Boyd gets a surprise victory: Charges dropped
Dec. 1, 2009 5:52 pm
A judge today nolle prossed criminal charges against Caroline High School football coach Ben Boyd.
<p>
Boyd had faced two felony charges of forging and uttering a public document.
<p>
Boyd, 53, was hired by Caroline May 11, after three years as the head coach at Franklin County High School.
<p>
The decision sparked controversy because of his 1991 federal misdemeanor conviction for misbranding and illegally dispensing anabolic steroids.
<p>
Several members of the search committee who helped hire Boyd told The Free Lance-Star in May they didn't know of the coach's past because it wasn't listed on his application.
