Arlington coach put Little League boys up to burglary, police say

ARLINGTON -- An Arlington Little League coach is accused of showing some of his players how to steal more than second base.

Investigators allege that George Spady Jr. was with his son, a nephew and another player from his baseball team when he broke into a vacant shop and took overhead lights and bolts. The boys were encouraged to assist with the break-in, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Edirin Okoloko wrote in court documents.

Spady, 31, was charged Monday with second-degree burglary, a felony.

Snohomish County sheriff's deputies were called to one of the players' homes after the boy told his stepfather that his coach had taken him along to break into a shop in Arlington, Okoloko wrote.

The stepfather was angry that an adult would use the boys to commit a crime, and, even worse, "that the adult was his son's baseball coach," Okoloko wrote.

The boy told investigators that Spady's son crawled through a vent on the back side of the shop and unlocked the door for his father. Spady, his son and Spady's nephew then went inside and came out with light fixtures and some other items, according to court documents.

The boy told investigators that Spady yelled at him to go inside and grab more from the shop, and told him to hurry up because he saw a truck drive by, Okoloko wrote.

The boy told police he didn't take anything from the shop.

Spady told police he'd driven onto the property to go "four-wheeling" with the boys, Okoloko wrote. He told the sheriff's deputy he didn't see the numerous "No Trespassing" signs posted on the shop, near the driveway and in other locations on the property.

Investigators reported that Spady told them the front door to the shop was unlocked and he couldn't recall if anyone went through a vent to get inside, Okoloko wrote.

Spady was apologetic, the deputy reported.

He admitted taking shop lights and bolts but didn't take anything else; he handed over the lights to the sheriff's deputy. He said he didn't have the bolts with him, according to court documents.

The boys are not expected to be charged with a crime.

EVERETT -- An Arlington Little League coach accused of encouraging teenage boys to commit burglary made his first court appearance Monday.

George Spady Jr., 31, pleaded not guilty to second-degree burglary in Snohomish County Superior Court. A judge allowed Spady to remain out of custody pending his trial, which is scheduled for Sept. 11.

Investigators allege that Spady was with his son, a nephew and another player from his baseball team when he broke into a vacant workshop and took overhead lights and bolts. The boys were encouraged to participate in the break-in, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Edirin Okoloko wrote in court papers.

One of the players reported the incident to his stepfather, who called Snohomish County sheriff's deputies. The man was angry that his stepson's coach would involve the boy in a crime, according to court documents.

Spady told police he'd driven onto the property to go "four-wheeling" with the boys, Okoloko wrote. He told the sheriff's deputy he didn't see the numerous "No Trespassing" signs posted on the shop, near the driveway and in other locations on the property.

Investigators said Spady told them the front door to the shop was unlocked and admitted taking the lights and bolts, Okoloko wrote.

"Spady was apologetic."

Yeah, I'll bet he was.

Sorry he was caught.

"Why you burglarize the house, Mr. Spady?"

"Because the door was unlocked."

My double was cancelled for today... LOL - - coach calls me and wants to do just a single game, AND move the time up 1/2 hour.

"Nope, sorry coachie. Not travelling 60 miles RT because you double-booked yourself." (He let it slip that he "forgot" that he had a game to play in himself at 6:00PM. So he decided to scrub both games and reschedule them. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when he calls my assignor. :banghead:
