Jury deliberating in ex-Har-Ber coach case

Posted: September 4, 2009 at 10:40 a.m.

— A Washington County jury will resume deliberations in the case of a former Har-Ber baseball coach accused of raping two teenage boys.

The jury began deliberating Thursday in the case against 41-year-old Mike Reagan.

Reagan's attorney alleges the boys fabricated the allegations and that the boys' family tried to blackmail Reagan.

Reagan pleaded not guilty last year to four counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.

He was arrested after the teens told Springdale police that Reagan sexually molested them between the fall of 2007 and April 2008.

Neither boy lives in Springdale and police say the incidents did not occur at school.
