Two Escambia High Coaches Arrested
October 4, 2011
Two Escambia High School coaches have been arrested, charged with obstruction of justice.
Head Coach Scott Anderson (pictured) and Assistant Coach Timothy Jansky turned themselves in this morning at the Escambia County Jail on the misdemeanor charge.
The charges stem from a September 19th incident where one student struck another student. According to the report and witnesses, both Anderson and Jansky approached the victim
of the battery on separate occasions and told him that if he pursued charges against the suspect, they could not guarantee his safety and the student would not play football.
According to an arrest report, Escambia Principal Michael Sherrill, told Anderson that he was “to stay out of the matter and allow law enforcement to do their job”.
Anderson and Jansky were released on their own recognizance. Both are on paid administrative leave from the school.
Editor’s note: The Sheriff’s Office did not release Jansky’s mugshot. His arrest report lists him as a “law enforcement official, former, spouse, or child of LEO”.
