This is a strange story and I’m sure we’re going to hear more about it at some point, but for now, we have one former NBA player in jail and his neighbor a little bruised. Here’s more from Cincinnati.com:

Kirk Snyder, 25, a former Minnesota Timberwolves player, was arrested early Monday after Warren County sheriff’s officials said he broke into a neighbor’s home in the 5300 block of Commonwealth Drive in Deerfield Township around 3:40 a.m. and attacked the man while he was sleeping.

He is due to appear for arraignment on charges of aggravated burglary and felonious assault 9 a.m. Tuesday in Mason Municipal Court. A female resident told investigators she was awakened by the sound of glass breaking downstairs.

When she got up to investigate, a tall assailant pushed her aside and ran to the upstairs bedroom where he began to beat her sleeping husband, authorities said. The woman said she was able to pull the hood off the suspect’s head. The man ran out the same back door he broken in. A police canine and other information led deputies to Snyder’s nearby residence. He was taken into custody within minutes of the attack.

$20 for sex? The economy REALLY must be tanking if the working girls are seeing their pay cut that much. But, once again, someone is likely to comment below about how this shows that we need to pay our teachers more.

Here’s more from News4Jax:

Marc Osterberger, 38, worked at Nease High School during the girls’ soccer season that ended two months ago. Head of human resources Jim Springfield told Channel 4 that Osterberger came highly recommended from a soccer club, and in October of last year, the St. Johns County School District hired Osterberger as a part-time employee to coach the Nease team.

“The references from that organization were very high. He was rated in the top 5 percent of all applicants,” Springfield said. Osterberger was only meant to work with the district through January. In February, however, he got into some trouble with
the law.

According to a police report, Jacksonville police caught Osterberger in an undercover prostitution sting in the 7900 block of 103rd Street. The report states Osterberger wanted an undercover officer to perform sex for $20 cash. The report also states, Osterberger exposed himself to the officer.

Another day, another female teacher caught having sex with a male student. Is anyone even remotely surprised anymore? Probably not.

This one comes to us from the Chicago area where Sarah L. Tolzien, 24, a first-year English teacher and cross country coach at Rich South High School has been charged with criminal sexual assault after a 16-year-old boy claims the pair had sex twice while she was, uh, giving him a lift home. Their activity came to light in December after the victim’s parents allegedly found naughty text messages sent to the boy from Tolzien. (Daily Herald)
