A Houston-area law enforcement officer was removed from his coaching position on a youth baseball team for his actions following a 9-and–under game on July 9.
A viral video posted by CBS affiliate KHOU 11 News last weekend showed coach Kenneth Wendt aggressively interacting with opposing players in the postgame handshake line after Wendt’s Scorpions Baseball team lost to Prospects Baseball on Saturday.
Wendt, who serves as a sergeant with the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable’s Office, could be seen bumping kids and forcefully slapping their hands as he made his way down the line. At one point, one Prospects player is heard saying, “That coach pulled me back,” in reference to Wendt.
