Warrant returns to haunt Lewisville Little League coach
Avan King is serving a six year sentence after a 1989 arrest warrant reemerged on a routine background check. The Lewisville dad of four and longtime Little League coach was arrested in February for a drug conviction from an old party at his home. Denton County officials call it an imperfect system while King’s supporters urge clemency and point to his community service and disability.
