Local Basketball Coach Placed on Leave Pending Investigation

Bruceville-Eddy High School basketball coach Cody Slaughter has been placed on paid administrative leave after being accused of serving alcohol to minors.

Bruceville-Eddy police have turned the investigation of the alleged incident over to the McLennan County Sheriff's Office since it reportedly happened outside city limits. An investigator was assigned to the case Thursday morning.

Aside from coaching basketball, Slaughter also teaches social studies and history at the school. He has been placed on leave from those duties as well.
