MANHATTAN – A Manhattan real estate developer who is also an assistant coach with Riley County USD 378 was arrested Tuesday on a Riley County District Court warrant in connection with unlawful sexual relations with a student.

Zac Burton, 38, turned himself in shortly after 5 p.m. and faces possible charges involving unlawful sexual relations, allegedly involving a female student at Riley County’s USD 378, according to a media release.

Burton owns Fieldhouse Development, which has built homes and apartment buildings at Grand Mere on the west side of Manhattan.

Burton’s bond was set at $50,000 and was expected to be released Wednesday.

Burton was a former backup quarterback with the Kansas State University football program from 1996 to 2000.
