Another interesting route to explore in this matter is that if the school that this happened in is a state ran institution, then depending on the employment status of the student officials, this act could constitute assulting a state employee. I spent a few seasons as an IM official at OU, which is state ran/funded, and we had a similar instance of a player threatening an official. The player was ejected from the building but waited for the official and decided to throw a sucker punch on the official. Just as the punch landed a campus police officer rounded the corner and arrested the kid on the spot. Case got turned over to the state attorney's office, not the local DA like a normal case would. Not only was the kid out a ton of money for legal expenses, but was found guilty, got hit with a nice fine and something like 5 years probation, all for "assulting a state employee".
