Charges dropped against Greenwich tennis coach

GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) Charges have been dropped against a Greenwich High School tennis coach who was accused more than four years of shoving a police officer.

New York State Police alleged that Connie Jones pushed a New York state trooper during a traffic stop while returning with her team from a match in Westchester County, New York, in 2010. Jones denied the claim and fought it despite several chances to plead to lesser charges.

Jones tells the Greenwich Time she stuck to her guns.

The accusation cost the 60-year-old Jones her job.

She was charged with breach of peace when the incident started with a player on the team bus hurling a bagel out a window, hitting a passing car.

The state moved to not go forward and nolled the charges after re-evaluating the evidence.
