The incident on April 7 that played out at a Nashville track meet involving serious allegations against a Prescott coach has resulted in two search and seizure affidavits being filed in Howard County Circuit Court.
The two affidavits were filed May 1 in connections with two SnapChat accounts, one allegedly belonging to the Prescott coach, who is identified in court records as Tony Price, 57, and the other is a decoy account.
The affidavits are centered around an investigation of internet stalking of a child.
Price has not been charged with any crime, as of Tuesday morning.
According to case information, Nashville Police Department officers were called to the Nashville High School parking lot on April 7 where “two citizens” had confronted the coach regarding “inappropriate conversations with an underage female.”
The file notes the two citizens had posed online as a 15-year-old female and had documented alleged conversations that were sexual in nature with Price. The communications with the decoy account had reportedly been going on for one month.
The pair videoed the encounter with Price and the footage was streamed to various social media platform and they quote sexual explicit dialog to Price that was allegedly used in the conversation with the decoy.
The NPD obtained a copy of the messages between the decoy and Price.
It was noted that the decoy had told Price she was almost 16 and a sophomore at Monticello and he responded by asking the decoy how much longer until she turns 18.
Several other explicit messages allegedly sent by Price were documented in the file.
