MARSHALL — Former Marshall High School teacher and coach Andy Townsend has been sentenced after entering a guilty plea to four charges of having an improper relationship with a student. Townsend was sentenced to serve six years probation and pay a $2,000 fine. He’ll also have to give up his teaching certificate, and he can never re-apply. Townsend was arrested in February 2009 after an investigation revealed he sent inappropriate text messages to three minor female students. The messages were sexually charged, and in one, Townsend even requested one of the girls meet him for sex.
