EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — A Texas high school football player who charged onto the field and bowled over a referee Thursday night, angered after being ejected from the game, is now facing criminal charges.

Senior defensive lineman Emmanuel Duron of Edinburg High School came running from the sideline area after the referee announced the ejection, slamming into the official during the first half of the zone play-in game against Pharr-San Juan-Alamo.

Duron was escorted from the stadium by police officers. On Friday morning, he was charged with class A assault and his bail was set at $10,000, according to The Monitor of McAllen.

The Monitor reported the referee was evaluated for a concussion by medical personnel at the stadium.
