Summary
Mount Pleasant police cited a parent for disorderly conduct after he ran onto the field during a U-10 football game and tripped a 9-year-old headed for a touchdown.
The man—identified as the opposing player's father—stuck out his leg near the pylon, then was located by police and reportedly admitted he was wrong and cooperated with authorities.
Coach Channing Schultz said the parent acted with intent to hurt the child, calling it unlike anything he had seen at a youth sports event.
The Milwaukee Colts have banned the parent from games, while Schultz said the 9-year-old got up, was ready to play again and is doing fine.
