A coach at Arkansas High School in Texarkana is facing serious criminal charges following a juvenile complaint.

The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department began investigating Dennis Johnson Jr. in February after a juvenile reported inappropriate conduct by Johnson. Detectives say they gathered evidence establishing probable cause for two offenses — second-degree sexual assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Arrest warrants were subsequently approved by the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and a judge.

The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities are actively seeking additional information from the public. Anyone with relevant information regarding this case or any incidents of sexual assault is asked to contact the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department at 903-798-3130.
