Under the old FED appeal rule when playing action was over as in the OP the BU would have simply declared the runner out.

All the shenanigans that followed , AD stopping the game, Police escort etc. most likely would not have happened.

There still might have been some EJ's but not the "hoopla" that followed.

I like appeals because they usually get screwed up! But in this case, I will agree with you on the old FED rule. I do not like the new FED appeal rule with it's Dead Ball Appeal and "if you screw it up you can re-do it" garbage! If appeals are what they want then use the OBR rules.

"Sure, son, you can appeal"
"That's a balk! No appeal!" or "TIME! Ball's out of play! End of the appeal!"
