Former Gardena High School coach negotiating with prosecutors
Brandon Pettway, a former football coach at Gardena High School, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing today in Torrance Superior Court his drugs and weapons charges. However, his attorney told the judge that he would like to continue the hearing because he believes there appears to be a way to resolve the case. He comes back Jan. 9.
Pettway, who is out of jail on bail, was arrested April 8 after narcotics officers allegedly watched him sell drugs near Purche Avenue Elementary School. According to the police, a search warrant of his home turned up drugs and weapons.
