The head football coach at Long Beach High
faces a June 7 court date on misdemeanor charges of DUI, careless
driving and violating the city's open container law.
Long Beach police arrested Charles Ronald "Bo" VonderBruegge Jr., 44, on Thursday night after a traffic stop on Commission Road near Daugherty Road.
Police records show a domestic disturbance was reported about 9:45 p.m. at a home on Pine Street, and police were told VonderBruegge had left the house in a maroon Chevrolet sport utility vehicle. An officer saw the SUV cross the center line on Daugherty near Mossy Oaks lane and drive on the white solid line on the side of the road before the SUV stopped, a report said.
VonderBruegge reportedly smelled of alcohol, had an open, cold 8-ounce beer in the cup holder of the SUV, and said he had consumed a couple of drinks, "but would not say how many or what kind," the report said.
The officer reported VonderBruegge refused to take a field sobriety test, and later refused to take a breath test on equipment at the police department. Records show police obtained a search warrant to draw blood for a blood-alcohol test, and VonderBruegge was taken to Memorial Hospital at Gulfport for a blood sample.
Police took him back to the police station and released him on his own recognizance pending a court appearance. Records show he was released to his father and brother.
VonderBruegge signed an appearance bond agreeing to pay the city $1,532 if he should fail to appear in court.
Schools Superintendent Carrolyn Hamilton said the school district is investigating the case and seeking an attorney's advice, but said she could not comment further.
VonderBruegge had coached at Pass Christian High before becoming assistant coach at Long Beach High. He was named interim football coach at Long Beach last fall and was named head football coach in December.
