Kenneth Tarr was arrested in Hollywood on Monday on felony eavesdropping charges for recording conversations with top sports officials without their consent, NBC News reported.
The limelight-starved scam artist made phony phone calls about job openings to at least a dozen current and former NBA, NFL and college coaches, including former Colts head coach Tony Dungy.
Dungy, now an NBC football analyst, told sportscaster Dan Patrick in October he'd been offered the head coaching job at USC — but, in fact, he'd fallen for Tarr's scam.
The school later scrambled to deny they'd offered the two-time Super Bowl winner the gig.
Tarr, 32, who has a history of scamming his way onto reality shows, boasted to Deadspin in October that he'd strung along dozens of others, including Broncos interim head coach Jack Del Rio and University of Hawai'i head coach Norm Chow, whom he allegedly spoke to about a job with the Giants.
Tarr was being held in a Hollywood jail on $20,000 bail.
