The umpire, Phillip Garee, 18, a senior at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, testified that after the game as he was walking to his car, Riley approached him, stood in front of him, swore at him and poked his finger in his chest.
Marc Wolfe, Riley's attorney, said, "there is no evidence of any physical contact. This was nothing more than a school baseball game and a slight disagreement between a parent and an umpire."

This attorney is wrong! That parent shouldn't have met the ump in the parking lot. NEVER! If the parent had a true complaint he should have taken it to the next level.
Nothing gets done in the parking lot after the game...Only trouble!
