AUGUSTA, N.J. (AP) -- A woman who attended a minor league game with her 8-year-old daughter and her Brownie troop faces disorderly person charges after she went onto the field to argue an umpire's call.
Lois Collinson hopped the fence Friday night in the bottom of the seventh inning of the New York-Penn League game between New Jersey and Staten Island after the Cardinals' Justin Hileman was thrown out on an infield grounder.
``She didn't like the call the umpire made,'' Chief Michael Reich of the Sussex County Sheriff's Department told The Star-Ledger of Newark.
Park security officers told Collinson to leave, but she refused and struggled while being handcuffed. Two sheriff's officers took Collinson from the field, but she argued and resisted arrest, police said. She was processed at the sheriff's office in Newton and released.
Collinson, 38, faces a hearing next month in Frankford Municipal Court. She could not be reached for comment Tuesday and there is no phone listing in her name.
A family friend, Oscar McBride, told the newspaper, ``She was cooperating, but wanted to get her daughter out of the stands.''
That cracks me up! Some bozo who probably didn't even know what she was arguing about, and she leaves her daughter to go on the field to argue! That is good stuff!:bigsquare
