He was arrested June 25 in Spokane while attending a 3-on-3 basketball tournament.

The arrest came one day after Cascade County District Judge David Grubich issued a warrant with a $150,000 bond. The warrant also ordered Riggin to have no contact with the alleged victims, stay off public school property, and avoid contact with anyone under the age of 18.

According to court documents, probation officer Tim Hides, said the Great Falls Police Department received a report on June 3 alleging Riggin had inappropriately touched children while helping at an event at Meadowlark.
