Randall McCoy is a teacher at Vance Middle School in Bristol, Tennessee.
Since October of 2009, he says he has been the victim of a blackmail scheme.
On December 29th, 2009 Kingsport Police Detectives arrested 22 year-old Jonathan Womack of Kingsport, and charged him with extortion and blackmail in the case.
Kingsport Police Detective's said that Womack was threatening to come forward with allegations of a relationship that occurred between he, and McCoy, while Womack was still a juvenile.
After McCoy contacted the police, a "sting" operation was set up, after detectives recorded a phone conversation between Womack and McCoy. McCoy agreed to meet Womack at the Pal's location on Revere Street in Kingsport to give him the money he requested.
McCoy wore a wire to the meeting, and police arrested Womack as soon as the money changed hands.
Womack is currently in the Sullivan County Jail, and is facing a preliminary hearing in March.
Detective Frank Light said that the Kingsport Police Department is in discussions with the District Attorney's office about any possible charges against McCoy.
