BERKELEY–Former Cal assistant coach Pierre Ingram will be arraigned for solicitation on May 15th in Alameda County Superior Court. The case will be pending a review from prosecutors. The Bears Burl Toler III who is a quality control special teams assistant will be out on the road starting next week handling recruiting duties. The Bears have not made an announcement if Toler or anyone else would replace Ingram.

Ingram was the running backs coach when he first came to Cal from Louisiana Tech with Cal head coach Sonny Dykes. Ingram was arrested for suspicion of solicitation on April 16th as part of a prostitution sting. Both Ingram and Dykes came to Cal in December 2012. Ingram has a wife and two young children.

A spokesman for the university said in a statement regarding Ingram, “Assistant football coach Ingram was placed on paid administrative leave following his recent arrest for solicitation. We are not renewing his contract, and he will no longer represent or act on behalf of this university in any capacity.” said the statement.

Ingram’s attorney Darryl Stallworth said, “Pierre Ingram is deeply sorry for the embarrassing or pain that he’s caused his family, first and foremost and to the university. He has already begun addressing the issues that put him in a place where he would be detained and arrested for solicitation.”
