Canisius assistant coach Lazare Adingono resigned April 2 after he was arrested Feb. 10 and charged with second-degree assault and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child. Adingono was on leave since late February. The Associated Press describes the details that led to Adingono’s departure.
Harvey Siegel, Adingono’s attorney, said Thursday his client submitted his letter of resignation, in which he wrote he wanted to “focus his undivided and full attention on family issues.”
He is accused of using a belt to strike his son numerous times, causing pain and swelling to the boy’s back, neck and arm.
The case is scheduled to be presented to a grand jury.
