Bishop LeBlond boys basketball coach Tim Wenkel, who is in his first year in charge of the program, was arrested Wednesday and charged with a Class A misdemeanor of stealing.

Wenkel also teaches religion at LeBlond and he has been suspended from all duties pending further investigation.

According to court documents, Wenkel admitted to police that he stole $875 worth of property from another car on August 25 in the parking lot of Walgreens at 2620 S. Belt Highway.

The store’s surveillance camera caught Wenkel as he stole two bags filled with clothes, two Nintendo 3DS game systems and seven video games.

Also 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 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.
