Tee-ball player, 8 hit with ball in head, groin so he couldn't play.
Pittsburg...A tee-ball coach paid one of his players $25 to hurt an 8-year -old mentally disabled teammate so he wouldn''t have to put the boy in a game, police said Friday.
Mark R. Downs Jr., 27, of Dunbar is accused of offering one of his players the money to hit the boy in the head with a baseball, police said. Witnesses told police that Mr. Downs didn't want the boy to play in the game because of his disability.
Police said the boy was hit in the head and in the groin with a baseball just before a game and did not play.
"The coach was very competitive," state police Trooper Thomas B. Broadwater said. "he wanted to win."
Mr. Downs was arrested and arraigned Friday on charges including criminal solicitation to commit aggraveated assault and corruption of minors. He was realeased on an unsecured bond.
(this happened June 27th)
The boy's mother asked state police to invistigate her son's injuries because she suspected that Mr. Downs wanted to keep the boy off the field, despite a league rule that required each player to participate in three innings a game, Trooper Broadwater said. Mr. Downs had 2 daughters on the tee-ball team. If Mr. Downs is convicted of any crime, he wont be allowed to be a coach next year.
