In my state, Oregon, we have a referee assault statute (ORS 30.882). The offender would be charged with a class A misdemeanor, which is a crime that gets prosecuted by all county district attorneys. If found guilty in criminal court, the offender must pay liquidated damages to the official of between $500 and $1000.

Mark is being modest in this description, since he was actually one of the principals in getting this bill passed!
