LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) — Authorities say a high school coach in New Mexico was booked on suspicion of aggravated battery for striking another coach with a vehicle during a dispute.
State Police say Mark Martinez, a coach at Robertson High School in Las Vegas, New Mexico, was arrested Wednesday for the May 11 attack on the other coach, whose identity hasn't been revealed.
The victim coaches for a wrestling club that's allowed to use the school's facilities for practice.
Police say the coaches had met up to fight after they got into a dispute over text messages.
The extent of the victim's injuries hasn't been revealed.
Martinez accused the other coach of throwing a rock at his windshield.
No one answered the phone at Martinez's home when The Associated Press called Wednesday seeking comment.
