Soccer Coach Arrested for Sexual Assault



Omaha, NE - A soccer coach is accused of sexually assaulting one of his players, a 15-year-old female. 29-year-old Jason Dishman was arrested Tuesday and booked for first degree sexual assault on a child.

Police say Dishman worked for the Elkhorn Soccer Club and, at some point, was the girl's coach. She's 16 now and lives in the Millard area.

According to the Elkhorn Soccer Club's website: "The alleged incident happened before Jason was associated with the Elkhorn Soccer Club and does not involve any of our members. Effective immediately, Jason is no longer associated with the Elkhorn Soccer Club and has been suspended by the Nebraska State Soccer Association."

Police reports show the alleged assault took place between December 19, 2008 and January 6, 2009 near 60th and Hickory.

Dishman is due in court Thursday.

Union City youth baseball coach is suspended for year

Union City youth baseball coach is suspended for year after incident with umpire leads to arrest on fourth-degree assault charge
Saturday, June 26, 2010

JOURNAL STAFF WRITER
UNION CITY - A Union City coach was arrested last week after he tried to attack an umpire, officials said.

Jose Polanco, 43, of Bergenline Avenue, was reportedly ejected from a June 18 Cal Ripken Baseball League championship game at Washington Park on Second Street after cursing and threatening an umpire because he didn't agree with a call the umpire made, reports said.

Forty-five minutes later, at approximately 9:30 p.m., when the game was over, Polanco reportedly lunged at the umpire and attempted to punch him.

The umpire, Joe McSorely, 37, says it's not the first time Polanco has tried to attack someone, which is why he signed a complaint against him, he said.

"He should never be able to coach a kid again," said McSorely, an umpire with Union City for the last four years.

Polanco was later arrested on charges of simple assault in the fourth degree and released, reports said.

McSorely, a resident of Woodbridge, said he was summoned on Monday by Richie Casseins, president of the Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken leagues, and by umpire chief Guy McCann, at the behest of Department of Parks and Public Property Commissioner Christopher Irizarry, to try to convince him to drop the charges.

"They asked what I felt would be a sufficient enough punishment that would make me not go to court," McSorely said.

"I find it absolutely outlandish, first as a parent, secondly as an umpire, and third as a coach, that anybody with children, especially the commissioner of the Department of Recreation . would even entertain consideration that Polanco should be treated as the victim in this situation," McSorely said, adding that he won't umpire in Union City anymore.

Irizarry denies that he ever made such a request.

According to McCann, Polanco has been suspended from coaching for the league for a year, and will remain on probation for two years.

"There is no justification for what (Polanco) did," McCann said. "I'm backing my umpire 100 percent. He didn't do anything wrong."

Casseins declined to comment.

Little League coach charged with assault in punch-out after umpire's call

An Ohio Little League coach has been charged with felonious assault for allegedly punching the local league president at a baseball game following a dispute over an umpire's call, WKYC-TV reports.

Canton Little League President Shawn Thomas tells WKYC that Karim Carter, 41, "sucker-punched" him and left him with two chipped teeth and a sore jaw in the scuffle in Canton, Ohio.

Thomas said he had been trying to calm Carter after the coach and a fan were ejected from a game for arguing over a umpire's call.

At the arraignment, the judge expressed surprise that Carter, who has a lengthy criminal record, including two assaults, firearm in a motor vehicle, domestic violence and disorderly conduct by intoxication, was allowed to coach, WKYC reports.

Thomas says the league was aware of Carter's criminal record, but had overlooked it because none of the incidents involved children.

Coach Attacks Teen Football Player


36-Year-Old Faces Child-Abuse Charges

An assistant football coach in Stockton, Calif., is accused of rushing the field and attacking a football player on a rival team.

Brian Wood, 13, sustained sprained fingers, a sore shoulder, and lingering headaches from the attack.
(ABC News)With just a minute left in the game, observers say 13-year-old, 116-pound Brian Wood made a late hit, prompting the referee to call a penalty.

Then, Cory Petero, 36, the assistant coach of the rival team and father of the boy who had taken the hit, tackled Wood.

"I got up to go to the huddle, and I was about to take off my helmet, had my straps off, and then he just came out of nowhere and hit me from behind," Wood said. "Then he rushed me again, and my big brother came up and then there was just a big old brawl out there."


Facing Charges
That brawl, not caught on camera, lasted 20 minutes. The fight left Wood with sprained fingers, a sore shoulder, and lingering headaches.

Petero faces a charge of felony child abuse that could put him behind bars for six years.

"I hope he goes to jail for what he did. You see late calls called. You see it all the time," said Denise Moreno, Wood's mother. "It doesn't mean that people are out on the field beating each other up. It's just not right."

Coaching experts agreed.

"I don't care what the frustration level was or what precipitated it," one expert said. "It's just not appropriate."

"The bottom line is that one of these incidents is one too many because it's traumatizing kids," the expert said.

"What it all boils down to: An adult ran out on the field and hit a child, period," Moreno said. "People need to understand that. It's not right, no matter what."

Youth Baseball Coach Arrested for Attacking Umpire

About the only good thing we can say about this incident is that at least it happened during a championship game and not a regular T-ball game between 5-year-olds. Still, not a good example to set for the kids there fella.

A Union City coach was arrested last week after he tried to attack an umpire, officials said. Jose Polanco, 43, of Bergenline Avenue, was reportedly ejected from a June 18 Cal Ripken Baseball League championship game at Washington Park on Second Street after cursing and threatening an umpire because he didn’t agree with a call the umpire made, reports said.

Baseball coach arrested on drug charges

By Austin Phillips (Contact) | Shelby County Reporter

Published Monday, June 21, 2010

ALABASTER — A Thompson Sixth Grade Center physical education teacher, who also serves as the Thompson Middle School head baseball coach, was arrested May 24 on two drug charges.

Jonathan Jermaine Moore was arrested by the Shelby County Drug Task Force and charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and second-degree possession of marijuana, said Lt. Chris George.

Moore, who was being held on a $16,000 bond, posted bond May 24.

Shelby County Schools spokesperson Cindy Warner said the system is still investigating the matter.

"Legal constraints prevent me from commenting on personnel matters while they are under investigation," Warner said. "Our practice in every case where there are allegations of professional misconduct is to thoroughly investigate and deal appropriately with the situation once all the facts are known."

Great Role Model Coaching Youth Baseball

MOBILE, Ala. -- A 35-year-old youth baseball coach was arrested this afternoon and charged with trafficking cocaine and carrying a pistol without a permit, police said.

Marklon Rayford Wade II is in the Mobile County Metro Jail without bond. Mobile police spokesman Officer Christopher Levy said Wade was arrested in west Mobile shortly after noon with more than a kilogram of cocaine in his possession. Levy said the police Inteligence Unit and the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force took part in the arrest.

Wade coaches a baseball team of 11- and 12-year-old boys in the Saraland Parks and Recreation Department, but Todd Edge, who directs the boys baseball program for the department, said "His future is over here."
Wade also coached last year in the city's youth football program, sports program Vice Chairman Bill Silver said, but he has not applied to coach football this fall.
