GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A high school football coach who was suspended following an OWI arrest last month will not return to school.
Don Fellows, a former coach at Union High School (UHS), was arrested in North Muskegon on Sept. 9 after police say he hit a sign outside the North Muskegon Police Department.
Fellows then reportedly hit a witness as he tried to flee. Prosecutors say he was charged with failing to stop after a crash, failing to stop after causing injury, and operating while intoxicated.
