Arrest warrant issued on former Canadian Football League player

MORNING NEWS

Marion police investigators on Tuesday signed an arrest warrant on a high school coach for second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a girl younger than 16, WBTW News13 reported.
Police Chief Willie Smith confirmed the department had a warrant for Shawn Graves, a social studies teacher and an assistant football coach at Marion High School. It's not clear how long Graves has been employed at the school.
The status of Graves' employment was not known by press time.
Neither officials with Marion High nor with Marion School District 1 were available for comment Tuesday night.
The charges stem from an incident that happened Friday morning on campus, which officials reported Friday to police, WBTW News13 reported.
The incident involved a girl who is a student at the school.
Smith said he contacted Graves' attorney and that Graves is expected to turn himself in today.
Graves graduated from Marion High School and attended Wofford College, where he held six NCAA Division II records that went unbroken into the 2005 season.
His records include:
Most rushing attempts by a quarterback in a career (730 from 1989 to 1992)
Most yards gained by a quarterback in a game (323 versus Lenoir-Rhyne on Sept. 15, 1990)
Most yards gained by a quarterback in a season (1,483 in 1989)
Most yards gained by a quarterback in a career (5,128)
Most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a season (24 in 1989)
Most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a career (72 from 1989 to 1992)
Graves was inducted into the Wofford Hall of Fame in 1998 and had his jersey number, 1, retired.
When he was a senior, he came in second for the 1992 Harlon Hill Trophy, the Heisman Trophy equivalent for small-college football.
As a junior, he finished third for the Harlon Hill award.
After graduating from Wofford in 1993, Graves played briefly with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.
