University of Maryland mens basketball assistant coach Bruce Shingler was hit with a 30-day suspension, the school announced Wednesday night, following an October arrest on charges of soliciting a prostitute. According to the documents obtained by The Baltimore Sun, Shingler, 40, responded to a website advertisement for women seeking men, which was posted by an undercover detective for a Prince Georges County police special assignment team. On Oct. 14, the detective that posted the ad received a text from Shingler, the documents state, and eventually told the coach to contact her when he arrived at a Holiday Inn in Largo.

According to court documents, Shingler confirmed he wanted to engage in sex upon entering the hotel room, and exchanged a fee of $80. When Shingler gave the detective the money, she alerted the arrest team. Shingler is currently awaiting a trial date scheduled for Feb. 28. He could face a maximum sentence of one year in prison for charges on soliciting a prostitute, and/or a $500 fine under Maryland state law. Maryland said, via the school paper, that Shingler was suspended due to a violation of his employment agreement. Marylands interim head coach Danny Manning would not comment further on the situation following the teams 94-87 win over Northwestern on Wednesday night. Shingler, a Maryland native, mentioned his wife in a statement when he was introduced as an assistant in June. On a personal note, Maryland is home. I grew up a Terp attending games at Cole Field House. My mother lived right across the street from campus. My wife, Lauren, went to St. Johns College High School. We cant wait to get to campus and hit the ground running, he said. Shingler and his wife, Lauren, have a son, Giovonni, and two daughters, Brooklyn and Savannah.
