SPOKANE — School officials in Spokane have suspended Ferris High School football coach Jim Sharkey as they investigate claims he exposed himself to players at a leadership camp last summer.
Sharkey, who used to coach in Clark County, strongly denies the allegations. His suspension is with pay.
The Spokesman-Review says the camp was last August along the Coeur d’Alene River near Cataldo, Idaho.
