Umpire Throws Hands With Sheriff’s Deputy Coach in Wild Baseball Brawl — And It Ends In Arrests

Holley is a deputy for the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Office; it hardly helped his case.

According to Starkville Police Department public information officer Brandon Lovelady, both men have been charged with misdemeanor fighting not in self-defense. They have also been banned from attending all future Grand Slam tournaments, per the New York Post.

A video surfaced on social media on Monday morning, showing the concerning incident. 

“This happened at a 14 year old travel ball game in Starkville yesterday between a coach and an umpire,” the caption read. “What are some of you adults doing? What kind of example are you setting for kids? Pathetic and embarrassing by everyone involved. Grow up.”

Lovelady says an investigation is ongoing.

The authorities have reviewed the footage they received from Crand Slam director Mike Narmour. 

Narmour was not at the tourney when the fight started and does not know what sparked it. However, he claims it was “stupidity all the way around.”
