Coy’s attorney, Kristina Oesterle, said he did not appear for court but a jointly-recommended plea and sentence was already in the works, and she attempted to call him but could not get in touch with him. Judge Steven Beathard stated he would wait t0 hear from Coy until Tuesday at noon. According to records, Coy’s bond was revoked Tuesday and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
