Frazier's fight to get job back as NCCU football coach dismissed
DURHAM (WTVD) -- The wrongful termination lawsuit filed by Henry Frazier III against North Carolina Central University has been dismissed, according to the NC Attorney General Office.
Frazier was fired in August 2013 - just two days after he was arrested for allegedly violating a domestic violence protective order. The court order he allegedly disobeyed was issued when he was arrested in 2012 following a domestic dispute with his then wife. Frazier is not allowed to contact her.
A police report says Frazier wrote a letter to his ex-wife about a parking ticket for a family vehicle she drives, saying he had paid it and would deduct the money from his monthly alimony check. The letter was delivered by the couple's son. But the order states Frazier can't use a third party - like a friend or a family member - to communicate.
In a statement sent out after the arrest, NCCU said Frazier's personal issues "have caused the university to shift its focus from the priorities of student-athletes."
