Covington Police Department interim chief Jack West didn’t return phone calls on Saturday, but gave a statement on Friday following the incident.
West said the referee was asking that a group of people on the sideline be moved, but the officer said he should handle the situation if someone needed to move. The referee allegedly became confrontational and was later removed from the field, along with Gambino, West said.
Interesting how he seemed to think that was a defense of his officer's actions, when it fact it's an admission that the officials were right and the officer failed miserably at his job.
