Baseball coach arrested for getting players high at a Dodgers game
By Jonathan WallTrujillo ? LAPD
As the Los Angeles Times and other outlets reported,
Trujillo, who was the junior varsity baseball coach at Granada Hills
(Calif.) High, took six students, aged 14 to 16, to a Dodgers game on
May 18, a seemingly harmless act ... until he decided to smoke marijuana
with the students going to and from the event.
Needless to say, Trujillo's poor decision came back to bite him when a
school staff member overheard students talking about the incident. The
24-year-old coach was reported to Los Angeles Police Department officials who worked with officials at Granada Hills to confirm the story.
Following his arrest, Trujillo was charged with six counts of child
endangerment and is being held on $100,000 bail. There are additional
charges, that are still pending, contributing to the delinquency of a
minor. Needless to say, the coach's decision to have some fun with a
handful of students backfired in a big way.
Of course, Trujillo isn't the first coach in recent months to make a
poor decision that could end with time served in prison. Just last
month, Hermantown (Minn.) High assistant golf coach Kyle Ernst was arrested for hosting a beer party after team's one-stroke title loss.
