Assault on Cobre coach leads to arrests, warrant

Cobre Consolidated Schools officials said they will be taking precautionary measures at future athletic events after an assault on Cobre High School’s volleyball coach Thursday night. Two people have been arrested in that incident, and an arrest warrant has been issued for a third. “We will be working collaboratively with local law enforcement and surrounding agencies to strengthen safety measures and ensure appropriate support is available at our events,” a district spokesperson said Monday in a statement provided to the Daily Press. “This includes this upcoming weekend as our Lady Indians travel to Albuquerque to compete in the State Volleyball Tournament. We have also been in communication with the New Mexico Activities Association, which is fully aware of the situation and has expressed its willingness to provide support as we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches, staff, and spectators.
