Danny Harris, a 1984 Olympic 400m hurdles silver medalist, was arrested Friday on charges of contacting a minor with intent to commit a sex crime, according to police records.
Harris, 51, was a walk-on coach at a California high school when accused of inappropriate contacts with a student. He was relieved of his duties May 17, according to police.
Harris has a court date set for Tuesday. Police declined to comment further, citing an ongoing investigation.
When he was 18, Harris took silver behind Edwin Moses in the 1984 Olympic 400m hurdles.
