An investigation into hazing allegations at a central Arkansas high school found no evidence of maltreatment of children by two baseball coaches, a spokeswoman said.
Rebecca Worsham, an attorney for the Bauxite School District, said teaching contracts for coach Michael Mattox and assistant coach Steven Tew were renewed, meaning a civil investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing.
An investigation to see if any criminal charges will be filed in the case is ongoing, according to the Polk County prosecuting attorney's office.
The allegations stem from a March 2 incident on a bus ride home from a game in Mena, according to the players' attorney, John Wesley Hall.
Tew has accepted a position at Carlisle High School as head baseball and assistant football coach, according to Leann Pinkerton, a spokesman for Bauxite School District.
