Bishop LeBlond boys’ basketball coach Tim Wenkel has resigned all duties at the high school effective immediately.

Wenkel, who was in his first season at LeBlond, was arrested Wednesday and charged with a Class A misdemeanor of stealing.

He stole $875 worth of property from another car on August 25 in the parking lot of Walgreens at 2620 S. Belt Highway and the crime was caught on the store’s surveillance camera.

According to court records, Wenkel allegedly admitted to police that he is an alcoholic “who was driving under the influence of alcohol when the crime occurred.”

The 34-year old Wenkel was also a religion teacher at Bishop LeBlond.

He was hired this spring to replace Steve Vertin, who was relieved of his duties after 13 years as Bishop LeBlond’s head coach.

Wenkel came to LeBlond after a successful stint at Hermann High School.
