Police arrest Yuba County dad over threats to child’s coaches
MARYSVILLE — Police officers on Tuesday morning arrested a Browns Valley father accused of leaving threatening messages containing racial and homophobic slurs for coaches because he was upset over his child’s position in a game.
Todd Andrew Tyler, 53, was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats, hate speech involving threats and carrying a concealed gun in a vehicle, the Marysville Police Department announced in a news release.
Shortly before 7:30 a.m., officers pulled over Tyler in Marysville. Tyler was taken into custody without incident. Police said officers searched Tyler’s vehicle and found a .45 caliber handgun with two loaded ammunition magazines in the center console.
On Sunday, two coaches working for Marysville Joint Unified School District reported the alleged crimes to police. Tyler had left several threatening messages for both coaches on their phones, according to the Police Department.
Police said Tyler appeared to be upset with the coaches about his child’s position in a game. Officers did not say what kind of sport the child played.
The victims played the phone messages for the officers. Police said the officers confirmed the messages had threats that contained racial slurs toward a Black coach and homophobic slurs.
On Tuesday, Tyler remained in custody at the Yuba County Jail. His bail amount was set at $150,000.
