This article was last updated by on

Rodney Keith Glassnor, a 57-year-old local coach, was arrested on serious charges.

Although the main details of the charges have not been officially disclosed, he was booked on August 5, 2025, at 11:15 AM under Inmate ID 159481.

He is reportedly facing serious charges, prompting concerns about potential risks to children.

Local Coach Rodney Keith Glassnor Has Been Booked on Serious Charges!

Rodney Keith Glassnor coached basketball in the Blue Water area of Michigan, specifically St. Clair.

He served as Director at Blue Water Express Training Center from June 2017 to August 2019, where the club focused on professional fundamentals, teamwork, and athlete development.

Earlier, from March 1999 to January 2009, he owned and ran The Hooper Club Basketball, directing daily activities, coaching all teams, and handling practices and game day duties.

He also notes experience as a professional basketball player from 1992 to 1994.

In the wake of Rodney Keith Glassnor’s arrest, public opinion in St. Clair County has been sharply divided, with some residents expressing deep distrust toward the county’s legal system, calling it:

Every person involved in the courts in St. Clair county is crooked. From public defenders to prosecutors to judges. They are all drunks and drug addicts who pay each other off and prosecute innocent people. Public defenders who don’t defend, prosecutors who prosecute innocent people and don’t charge guilty ones. They are all in it together, and hopefully one day it will all be exposed. St. Clair County is the crooked is county in Michigan 100%..

Others have weighed in on the specific charge, noting that a fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct (CSC) offense is considered a lower-level charge, further saying:

Ok do you know the difference between CSC 4th degree and 1st degree?! 4th degree is grabbing someone a**! Now I know I know you liberal women think if a man you’re not attracted to looks at you it’s the same as rape! But this is the lowest level of CSC around! Also the charge wasn’t with a minor, but for some reason you want to make it sound like he is a pedo! According to the charge he isn’t! You are not trying to be a good citizen, what you are doing is attempting to disparage someone by implying they have some “serious charges” and has been “around kids” so you are “warning parents”. I hope he sees this and sues the pants off you for defamation, it may fit it because though yes he is guilty of sexual misconduct it wasn’t around children like you are implying! Well according to the records! I don’t know the guy dot know what happened! I’m just following YOUR recommendation!

These individuals argue that portraying the incident as a threat to children could be defamatory, despite acknowledging that sexual misconduct is still serious.

At the same time, some voices in the community are warning that predators are not always strangers, stressing:

Time for everyone to realize it’s not just creeps hiding behind phones, it’s your husbands and brothers and sons. It’s people closest to your kids.

Parents are being urged to remain vigilant, review any interactions their children may have had with him, and seek clarity from relevant institutions if necessary.

The St. Clair County, Michigan, posted this news with a warning to parents, saying:

He’s a local coach, arrested on some very serious charges. If he’s been near your child, it’s time to start asking questions. Posting here to warn parents, because the Times Herald most likely won’t expose him. Look up the charges yourself. This county is full of predators.

The incident has heightened community awareness about safeguarding young athletes and ensuring accountability among those in coaching positions.

Authorities have not yet released official details about the nature of the charges, but residents are encouraged to consult public arrest records and court documents for confirmed information.
