Pontiac football coach Ken Wade is in the Oakland County Jail for violating probation.

Wade was sentenced to 14 days in jail according to Oakland Press writer Aileen Wingblad. He was charged in 2010 for having in possession of narcotics paraphernalia and driving on a suspended license in Orion Township. Wade plead guilty to the charge and was sentenced to probation which he violated in 2011.

Wade failed to appear as ordered for his probation violation, multiple bench warrants were then issued.

Wade then faced Oakland County Circuit Judge Lisa Asadoorian at 52.3 District Court in Rochester where he plead guilty to the probation violation on April 4th. Wade was sentenced to serve 90 days in jail on May 14th but Asadoorian gave him the option of serving less time if he settled the balance of his fines and fees associated with the original convictions. It cost him $2,100 and 14 days according to court records that were obtained by the Oakland Press.

Wade is scheduled to be released from the Oakland County Jail on May 25^th.

Pontiac School District Superintendent Kelly Williams offered little comment and said to Wingblad that “Human Resources is looking into the matter.” The communication specialist for the Pontiac School District Latoya Smith added that Wade is new to the district and that the Human Resources Department handles the background checks on all prospective employees.

We now know that according to the Oakland Schools website Wade is now out at Pontiac as of May 16th. The football coaching vacancy is posted.

Pontiac is 5-48 since 2012 and haven’t made the playoffs since 2011. They will be in the Blue this season.

Thoughts

This is not what Pontiac or the Phoenix football program wanted to see especially going into the summer months.
