Another Springdale Volunteer Coach Arrested

For the second time in less than a month, a volunteer coach in the Springdale School District has been arrested.

Christopher Wayne Foster, 27, of 14055 Wolf Drive in Rogers was  arrested Wednesday in connection with felony aggravated assault, kidnapping, promoting prostitution and theft of property.

Foster was an athletic volunteer at Central Junior High School.

Back in April Brett Wayne Foster, 21, of Fayetteville was arrested in connection with two counts of first-degree sexual assault. He allegedly had sex with a 17-year-old student who was a member of the Har-Ber High School track team.

It is unknown at this time if the two are related.

Springdale Athletic Director Annette Scogin needs to take a long, hard look at the screening process for volunteers. The current method is not working and is putting our children in serious jeopardy.

  1. If Springdale's highly paid superintendent of schools is not on top this some folks are not getting their money's worth. Anyone else would have some carefully prepared remarks ready for a puzzled public.

    Local media may let him avoid the limelight but not the regular folks. There's some "splaining to do."
