The store employee called 911 to report an adult male "loving on" a young girl in the furniture department.
September 4, 2008 - Jared Wolfgang, 28, a Troy schools music teacher and assistant band director, pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor charges of contributing to the delinquency and unruliness of a
minor.
Wolfgang was arrested by Troy police July 15 after a Meijer store employee called 911 to report an adult male "loving on" a young girl in the furniture department. Police said love letters and notes from the girl, a 15-year-old student, were found in Wolfgang's car.Wolfgang had been employed by the Troy schools for one year. He previously had worked for the Newton School District, also in Miami County.
Troy school officials said Wolfgang resigned in late May after he was put on leave while officials investigated complaints by the same girl's parents that he had been exchanging messages with her. Superintendent Tom Dunn said the messages were inappropriate between a student and teacher, containing "juvenile stuff," not sexual conversation.
