A Chesapeake man who spent time in prison for a crime he said he did not commit has returned to the basketball court to coach kids in his community – a passion he said was interrupted in 2012 when Chesapeake police arrested him for armed robbery.

“Even through all the accusations, the parents [and kids] stuck with me through the whole thing,” said Faulcon. "They supported me."

When he’s not on the basketball court, Faulcon is focused on fighting to clear his name as he marks the one year anniversary of his release from prison following a series of News 3 investigations exposing evidence pointing to his innocence.

“I am innocent, but I’m still viewed as someone who’s just an armed robber and a convicted felon,” said Brian Faulcon. “I’m blessed and thankful to be out [of prison], but at the same time, I still have that conviction hanging over my head.”
