ORIGINAL STORY
NAPLES, Fla. - WINK News is uncovering new details about the Collier County High School Coach arrested for driving without a license.

This isn't the first time he's had a run in with the law. In fact, he's had more than half a dozen but none of them has ever stopped him from coaching your kids.

A new law went into six days ago, it's goal is to keep criminals away from kids in school but we find it won't apply to this coach, even if he is found guilty for the seventh time on the charges he's facing.

Searching Collier County court records, 29-year-old Reginald Hamilton has a wrap sheet dating back to 2000.

November 2000: Petty Theft - Guilty

May 2001: Violation of Probation - Guilty

January 2006: Driving while License Suspended Revoked a 2nd time - Guilty.

March 2006: Violation of Probation - Guilty

April 2006: Driving with a Suspended License and Attach Tag Sticker Not Assigned - Guilty of both charges.

Collier County School District Board Chair Linda Abbott wasn't aware the Golden Gate High School Coach had a past until we showed her.

Abbott says, "If it's a total disregard for the law obviously to me that appears to be unethical. And we don't set a good role model for our students in that fashion."

WINK News went to his home to get his side of the story, but no one answered the door.

It's not known what sport Hamilton coaches or how long he has been with the school district.

Abbott says the school district needs to clean up employee records and the new ethics law that went into effect on July 1st may help.

However, according to the Department of Education the district would terminate employees with a conviction of specific felony offenses including murder, manslaughter, aggravated assault, battery, and robbery. Nothing in the law would prevent this coach from working at the school district no matter how many traffic convictions he has in his past.

Abbott tells WINK News district employees need to set a good example, "All of our employees are human we all make mistakes but we also have a code of conduct and ethics that all of our staff must adhere to."

Hamilton is out on bail.
