MUSKEGON, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – A suspended Grand Rapids Public Schools high school football coach accused of driving drunk last month and striking a pedestrian plead not guilty in court on Monday.
Donald Fellows III is facing a variety of charges. Authorities said he smelled like alcohol, displayed a lack of balance, slurred his speech, and admitted to officials that he was drunk. In addition, police said they found empty beer cans in his back seat and a passenger said he and Fellows had just left a bar.
