According to the Montgomery County Chronicle criminal charges of blackmail and identity theft have been filed against a former Independence Community College football coach. This afternoon former ICC Head Football Coach Jason Brown was formally charged with a total of 10 criminal counts that include four counts of blackmail, four counts of identity theft, and two counts of criminal false communication. Blackmail and identity theft are felonies and criminal false communication is considered a misdemeanor. The charges were filed by the Montgomery County Attorney’s Office. Brown was at ICC from 2015 to 2019 before resigning after a controversy around texts sent to a German born football player where Brown referred to himself as the players “Hitler”.  The charges come just weeks before Last Chance U Indy Part 2 is set to release on Netflix.
