As Steve Vogelsang was the local On Air sports personality for CTV (CKY) in Winnipeg for years..I thought it might warrant a thread for discussion...
Arrested for two bank robberies in Alberta..

Agreed. I saw a FP story about it, and it sounds like his life slowly took turns for the worse until he hit rock bottom. I was feeling pretty sorry for him as the article went on though.

Bottom line though, the guy was apparently a long time cheater, had a sexual assault charge against him, and now ultimately, he's a criminal. He made some very bad choices that led to this.
 
Sounds like he would be a perfect fit to do financial analysis on the 1290 morning show
 
Remember pokey and the bandit? We could rename pokey and the vogelsang.

Or perhaps instead of "highway robbery" on the glove save, "vogelsaved"

Yeah, nobody is reporting on this at all. That's interesting to me. I know reporters found it, because it's right on his twitter.

This whole situation is sad. Considering Vogelsang never was employed by True North, perhaps it may have been his way of fooling himself, and saying "everything in my life is great" to his peers and former students, when the wheels were clearly coming off. I obviously don't know of the circumstances in his life since he left RRC in 2011, but most people don't start robbing banks and having domestic issues at 53, after never really getting into trouble with the law. Like many men, it just sounds like he did not reach out to his support system, until it was too late.

According to the coverage of this I’ve read the TNSE gig in 2014 coincides with his return to Winnipeg from Nelson (where he lost $85,000 on three properties) he also was temporarily back at RRC when domestic issues with one of or maybe two ex girlfriends/former student he had an affair with/stalked, that woman or Women filed restraining orders, that likely cacked any chance at the TN job and ended his return at RRC who terminated him shortly after. I believe it’s also around this time that his house in the city was being foreclosed.

He tweeted about that TNSE gig in May 2014. The protection order and the foreclosure of the house came earlier this year. That leaves a fairly big time gap (32 months?). So I doubt that played a role in any kind of prospective employment opportunity with True North. What is really sad about this whole situation is many of his former students and colleagues have mentioned that they would have tried to help him out, had they known about his personal struggles.

Hmmmm, according to the National Post, unless I’m misreading it they suggest 2014,

Vogelsang moved back to Winnipeg in 2014 and he and his wife separated and, eventually, divorced.
He then faced a sexual assault charge, which was stayed: the details of that charge are unknown.
Vogelsang took back up with his former girlfriend about the same time he returned to Winnipeg, but he was in financial straits, unable to renew the mortgage or make payments on the Winnipeg home he once shared with his wife; his wife alleges he forged her signature in order to renew the loan.
The home was facing foreclosure in early October.

Unless early October is just this past month.
