“A Florida man was taken into custody this weekend after allegedly punching a Little League umpire in the face. Alberto Ramos, 22, was arrested on Friday on one count of felony battery to a sports official, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release on Monday. Ramos was attending his nephew’s Little League game on Friday, according to Spectrum News, at the Highland City Ballpark in Lakeland, Florida, a city east of Tampa. Ramos disagreed with one of the head umpire’s calls, according to police, and allegedly approached the umpire after the game to complain. But things between Ramos and the umpire quickly escalated, with Ramos allegedly raising his voice. The umpire, who remained unnamed, then asked Ramos to leave the park, but Ramos allegedly responded by screaming that he was going to “kick his arse” and then punched the umpire in the face, police said in an affidavit, according to the press release. The umpire’s lip was cut and one of his teeth was broken in the assault. The umpire was treated by the Polk County Fire Rescue.”
