Advertiser Staff
NORWALK, Calif. — UCLA assistant football coach Eric Scott and two other men were out on bail today after being arrested on suspicion of residential burglary.The 32-year-old coach, along with Jesus DeAlba and Timothy Williams, both 23, were booked on suspicion of residential burglary yesterday and released after posting $50,000 bail each, said Sgt. Tera White of the Los Angeles County sheriff's Norwalk station.
Scott was hired as receivers' coach in March after working as an intern in the school's football office last year. He was an assistant coach at Crenshaw High in Los Angeles the previous seven years. Scott played at UCLA from 1995-97.
"The athletic department is currently gathering information on the situation, and until we have all the facts, it is premature for us to comment," said Marc Dellins, UCLA sports information director.
Deputies were called to the 11600 block of Pioneer Boulevard on a report that a burglary was in progress. They detained the three men and arrested them, White said.
