ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) - An Ellensburg School District coach has been arrested on alleged sexual misconduct with a high school student.
The Ellensburg Police Department said on Facebook Wednesday that an investigation determined that a 26-year-old male coach had been in an inappropriate relationship with a female student since late 2016.

Police say the relationship continued until earlier this year.
The coach has been arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of multiple counts of sexual misconduct with a minor.
