A Florida mom was arrested after allegedly kicking a juvenile player during a Pop Warner youth football game in Fort Myers, the Lee County Sheriff's Office says.
A Florida mom was arrested Saturday after chaos erupted at a youth football game — ending with an adult allegedly kicking a child, authorities said.
Renee Lambert was taken into custody and charged with child abuse without great bodily harm and resisting an officer after she allegedly stormed a Pop Warner game at Brooks Park in Fort Myers and kicked a juvenile player, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies working security at the park said they were called to the field after a fight broke out between players following a play. Video reviewed by police showed Lambert running onto the field and kicking a juvenile player, authorities said.

Lambert claimed a child hit her with a helmet, prompting her actions, but investigators said that claim was not supported by the evidence.
Bodycam footage captures a tense, profanity-laced confrontation as deputies attempt to detain her.
"So you're mad at them for hitting me?" Lambert asks.
"I’m mad at an adult for attacking a kid," the officer responds.
"Stop! You’re detained right now," the officer later commands.
"No I’m not. Goodbye… get your hands off me," she fires back.

"You are being pointed out as being a suspect right now — you’re detained," the officer says again moments later.
She then demands, "Where's number nine? Go get number nine."
"A kid?" the officer asks.
"Yes."
"You’re an adult," he responds.
The footage ends with a chaotic scene as deputies attempt to place Lambert in handcuffs.
