Yep, felony charges.
Four people, three adult coaches and a 14 year-old kid (watch the video and you can probably guess which kid it was -- the one who started the fracas!!) have been charged with felonies (as of last Friday, September 1), it being a felony to assault and batter a game official in the state of Florida.
The referee has a broken shoulder as a result of the attack, and one of the other team's coaches was also downed.
By Florida Statute 784.081, that they assaulted and battered a game official upgrades the offense to a third-degree felony, and they face four years in state prison.
