Little League baseball coach removed after rough encounter with opposing players after loss

HOUSTON — A sergeant with the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable's Office was removed as a Little League baseball coach due to his actions after a game in west Houston last weekend.

Kenneth Wendt's poor sportsmanship was caught on camera after his 9-and-under Scorpions Baseball team lost to Prospects Baseball on Saturday.

The game was over, but the drama was just getting started. The two teams lined up to high-five, but Wendt, who is seen in the video wearing khaki shorts, took it too far. He's seen bumping into the first kids in the line.

Parents are angry, saying he was too aggressive.

He’d come out from the officers room when a student needed help with either a ticket, or whatever they needed. If it was a ticket, the student would already be pissed off and this damn cop would come out of the officers room with his chest puffed out, and he start making the student more pissed off by his demeanor. He’d purposely talk really low and move closer to them to make them more confrontational…….ugh, I just hated that, and him. Then he’d kinda laugh about it and have the office staff take care of the aftermath. Now our Chief, was a gawd at defusing the situation, he’d come out and immediately defuse the students anger, and by the time the student left the Chief and student would be shaking hands and smiling. Not like the bad cop who would piss them off more and when they left they’d be slamming the door and swearing, the office staff would be on high alert for the possibility of calling 911.
