I found an interesting article on the NASO site, at
http://www.naso.org/rprt1.htm . It's a few years old; but even then, Oklahoma already had a law on the books regarding assaults on officials. From the NASO article:

The statute in Oklahoma provides for significantly more jail time for anyone convicted of assaulting a sports official than for anyone simply convicted of assaulting an ordinary person. The jail time increases from 30 days (for anyone convicted of assault) to 90 days (for anyone convicted of assault and battery) to one year (for anyone convicted of assault and battery to a sports official). The fine is the same for an assault and battery of a sports official and an ordinary person ($1,000). Statute Ann. Tit. 21, Section 650.1 provides: Every person who, without justifiable or excusable cause and with intent to do bodily harm, commits any assault, battery, assault and battery upon the person of a referee, umpire, timekeeper, coach, official, or any person having authority in connection with any amateur or professional athletic contest is guilty of a misdemeanor and is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year or by a fine not exceeding One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) or both such fine and imprisonment.

My advice is the same as everyone else's: get your HL to file a police report and let them take it from there.
