OH Man Christopher Deason ID’d As Suspect Arrested In Brawl At Licking County Youth Football Game Sunday

NEWARK, OH. (THECOUNT) — Ohio officials have identified Christopher Deason, of Pataskala, Ohio, as the man arrested for assault after a fight broke out between a coach and a referee at a youth football game Sunday evening in Licking County, according to reports.

According to the Licking County Sheriff’s Office, Deason, 37, was taken into custody after a youth football game between the Licking Valley and Watkins Memorial School areas ended with a kerfuffle between players, all of whom were approximately 12 years old, police said.

The game, while being played at Licking Valley High School, was not an official school function, the sheriff’s office said.

A referee who separated some of the players was “inappropriately confronted physically” by one of the Watkins coaches to the extent the coach was arrested by sheriff’s deputies, according to the sheriff’s office, reports NBC1i.

Deputies and detectives are collecting and reviewing multiple video sources of the incident. All information will be handed over to a prosecutor to determine if further arrests and appropriate charges are necessary.
