LAKELAND -- News that Santa Fe Catholic High Principal Anthony Michael Iazzetti has been charged with soliciting two men to commit lewdness shocked the school's community Friday.
Iazzetti, a 61-year-old Marist Brother who took over the Crimson Hawks' helm last year, was arrested Thursday at Saddle Creek Park, which is located down the road from the high school on U.S. 92.
Iazzetti solicited two male undercover detectives to commit a lewd act on each other, a misdemeanor, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office. He was released Friday on a $250 bail.
Iazzetti's arrest comes as the school appeared to be bouncing back from troubles in 2003, when the Diocese of Orlando threatened to close Santa Fe because of low enrollment and low funds.
