ABC News: Authorities investigate coach who licked player's cuts
Halsey, Oregon- A state panel plans to investigate a high school football coach who acknowledged licking a bloody cut on the knee of one of his players.
Reed 34, who also teaches science acknowledged the incident last year after a parent's complaint. The school district placed him on probation and required him to take a "bloodborne pathogen's" course.
Police investigated but Reed was not arrested. "Sometimes there are actions that are socially unacceptable or bizarre that aren't necessarily criminal" Linn County sheriff Dave Burright said.
