Oneonta Police Chief Charles Clifton said he will pursue criminal charges against a man he said punched him in the face following a Friday night football game in Centre.
Toward the end of the game, Clifton said, a play led to both teams getting a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. It began with an Oneonta player questioning the ref’s call.
“If he had said that, one of the players or parents would have called them out because there was a ton of people on the fence line.” The suspect, Clifton said, is the husband of a Cherokee County sheriff’s employee. Cherokee County deputies responded but did not arrest the man, Clifton said. “I am absolutely beyond words of how they don’t immediately allow warrants to be issued in the matter and are basically saying it’s OK to punch a police officer in the face.”“I’m so put off by it. I haven’t been able to sleep,’’ Clifton said.
