Both paid a $5,000 fine and will serve three years of supervised release after prison. The couple was sentenced during back-to-back hearings in U.S. District Court in Plano on Tuesday.

(Jae S. Lee/Staff Photographer) Education McKinney moves graduations amid church-and-state concerns For months, parents and community members have rallied at McKinney ISD school board meetings — some with signs and speeches — to wage the age-old constitutional fight over the separation of church and state. Now, it appears that battle, at least in McKinney, is winding down for now. The district announced last week that [it will hold this year's graduation for its three high schools at the Allen Event Center](, abandoning a more than decade-long tradition of hosting commencement ceremonies at Prestonwood Baptist Church. The decision on the site comes after several community members expressed concern about the presence of religion at some schools and district events. And it follows just a few weeks after district officials had said that moving the graduation away from Prestonwood couldn't be done this year because the plans for the event are made at least a year in advance.

He showed up at his mom's house, near Dolphin Road and Interstate 30, around 3 Tuesday morning. Waynita Coleman boy, now 48, has disappeared before — most recently last May. Then, as now, he appeared on his mother's door step in the middle of the night, only after he'd seen a television news story about his disappearance. Lincoln Coleman's story was once a feel-good tale — the hometown boy who had gone from playing in the Arena League to working for minimum wage in a Home Depot to playing for the Dallas Cowboys. But the highlight reel dims with each critical-missing bulletin. Waynita said Monday night that her son is bipolar and was long ago diagnosed with dementia. She is certain that his many concussions — eight, at least — are, in part, to blame for his current state. "Some days he's just ..." A long pause. "Missing. Not literally, not like now. He's just not there. You will have a conversation with him, and then he ..." Another pause. "Sometimes, he looks blank. He has good days. And he has bad days."
