A Florida mother was arrested Saturday after chaos broke out at a youth football game that ended with an adult allegedly kicking a child, authorities said.
Renee Lambert was taken into custody and charged with child abuse without serious bodily injury and resisting an officer after she allegedly tackled and kicked a teenage player during a Pop Warner game at Brooks Park in Fort Myers, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Park security said they were called to the field after a fight broke out between players after the game. Video reviewed by police showed Lambert running onto the field and kicking a teenage player, authorities said.

Renee Lambert was taken into custody and charged with child abuse, without grievous bodily harm and resisting an officer.
Lambert claimed a child hit her with a helmet, prompting her to take action, but investigators said there was no evidence to support that claim.
Body camera footage captured a tense, profanity-filled confrontation as officers attempted to detain her.
“So you’re angry because they hit me?” Lambert asked.
“I’m angry that an adult attacked a child,” the officer responded.
“Stop! You’re in custody now,” the officer then ordered.
“No I’m not. Goodbye…get your hands off me,” she shot back.
