VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. – A California junior college football player has been arrested after he appeared to punch a referee during a game Saturday night.

The Ventura County Star reports that Mount San Antonio freshman offensive linesman Bernard Schirmer was immediately ejected from the game and later arrested on suspicion of battery and taken to Ventura County jail.

The ref was overly aggressive, but the punch was way over the line. You have to be able to hold your composure. He is being charged and there is a rule in Cali that bans a player for five years for striking an official.

whether the ref was being overly aggressive or not has absolutely no bearing on this situation. the player is 100% at fault. no mitigating factors here, 100% accountability on the player.

I wonder if he is related to the USC OL that pushed a ref yesterday and was ejected.

The thought of pushing a ref would never even cross my mind. I don't know what these kids are thinking.

Ventura County is one of the greatest places on Earth. I spent two years at NAS Pt. Mugu in the early 90s. He's a lucky man.
