June 26, 2012 8:30 AMPolice announced Monday that a high school assistant baseball coach was arrested for allegedly smoking marijuana on the way to and from Dodger Stadium whilst transporting six students to a Dodgers game.
Pedro Cruz Trujillo of Kennedy High School in Granada Hills was investigated after a school staff member overheard students chatting about the May 18 reefer ride and contacted police on May 25. CBS LA says Trujillo is also accused of sharing his herb with some of the students. He has since been removed from his coaching gig.
Trujillo, 24, was arrested Monday at 11:20am and booked on six counts of child endangerment involving students between the ages of 14 and 16-years-old, according to City News Service. The cannabis-craving coach was held on $100,000 bail and faces additional charges for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Pedro Trujillo: Coach Smoked Marijuana With Students En Route to Dodger Game?

Updated at the bottom with the school district saying Trujillo has been fired.
Tue., Jun. 26 2012 First posted at 7 a.m.Updated at 11:46 AM :: If you're an assistant high school baseball coach, try not to get stoned with your underage students.
The LAPD last night said Kennedy High School's Pedro Cruz Trujillo, 24, didn't get that memo. Cops say he took six students, ages 14 to 16, to a Dodgers game in spring and smoked marijuana with at least some of them.

Yesterday morning officers arrested Trujillo on suspicion of child endangerment. Police say they'll also recommend charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The May 18 game trip involved in-car weed smoking to and from Dodger stadium, cops say, but not all six of the Granada Hills students in Trujillo's ride took part.
A school staffer later overheard some teens on campus talking about the smoke-out, and police were called in, according to an LAPD statement.
The department investigated the incident for a month before making the arrest yesterday at 11:20 a.m., cops say.
Detectives are entertaining the possibility that Trujillo might have done stuff like this on other occasions, and they're still investigating.
Trujillo, meanwhile, remained behind bars in lieu of $100,000 bail.
If the allegations are true, this guy is a true genius. Not only did he (allegedly) get high while behind the wheel with six kids in his care, but he (allegedly) smoked them out too.
[Update at 11:46 a.m.]: The L.A. Unified School District today said Trujillo had been fired:
The LAUSD had removed Trujillo from the campus in May when the incident was brought to the District.Once arrested by LAPD and charged with child endangering involving marijuana, Trujillo was fired from both of his positions with the District.
[It's not clear to us that the district attorney's office has filed charges in the case. He was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment, with additional counts being recommended by the LAPD.]
