BOZO

Chiquita,
IMHO, the athletic director is FOS. If the athletic director has any, er, guts at all, action can and should be taken.

I would still call the appropriate law enforcement authority and file a report. More umpires should do likewise. While the law in WA State is, unfortunately, not quite as strong as it is in TX and in some other states, law enforcement officials generally take a very stern view towards acts like this.

Even if no violence was threatened, the simple fact that he was both verbally abusive and blocking your door (even if he didn't threaten you or touch you) would be enough to warrant a warrant for, as you so aptly put it, this bozo.

It would be even more helpful if you have any law enforcement officials in your umpire chapter. We have one who is a lieutenant in one of our local constabularies. Even though it wasn't in his jurisdiction, his networking abilities helped with a situation we had a couple years ago.
