Fenimore is being held on $420,000 bail.
It’s common for coaches to look for ways to bond with their players and establish a unique camaraderie between two separate generations. However, as one volunteer coach has found out, providing marijuana to young players isn’t as smart as say, taking the team out for pizza.
St. Helens Oregon volunteer baseball coach Randy Fenimore has been charged with 6 counts each of unlawful delivery of marijuana and endangering the welfare of a minor.
The charges stem from an overnight team excursion on April 9th in which Fenimore allegedly distributed pot to his players. The team had taken the outing to cope with the loss of head coach Tim Lokken, 51, who had died the day before.
St. Helens Police Sgt. Phil Edwards stated, “It seemed to be a spur-of-the-moment idea brought up by one individual. Fenimore was present during the conversation and did nothing to discourage (the use of marijuana).”
Authorities are also mulling whether criminal charges will be brought against six other players who brought supplementary amount of “green” party favors of their own to the event.
The St. Helens School district policy is to run a background check on all volunteers, faculty and employees. However, the district had no comment to offer up when it was disclosed Fenimore had a 2009 citation for marijuana possession in which he had pled guilty and paid out hundreds of dollars in fines.
Look, you want to connect with your players, deliver a motivating talk, surprise them with a case of ice cold Coca-Cola or surprise them with an unexpected detour to the McDonalds drive-thru. I don’t think hooking them up with drugs is going to have any kind of a positive ending.
Exactly why he thought he this was a cool thing to do is anyone’s guess, but with bail set at $420,000, Mr. Fenimore can mull it over while he sits in a St. Helens jail awaiting trial.
