Parents face arrest after Texas softball fight injures two

Two parents were arrested after an altercation at their daughter's softball game Saturday in Sugar Land left a father hospitalized and a grandfather injured, according to ABC7 Los Angeles. One of the arrested parents, Jazmine Hall, subsequently resigned as an assistant principal.

The hospitalized father's attorney said his client suffered a broken jaw, a skull fracture and three brain bleeds and said he wanted prosecutors to consider more serious charges. The criminal investigation remained open.

According to ABC7 Los Angeles, the confrontation took place at Imperial Park during a game between two select softball teams with 12-year-old players. Investigators said the dispute began over Kiarious Marshun Hall's behavior while the opposing team was batting.

Investigators alleged that Hall hit a father in the face with a metal water bottle, leaving him unconscious, then swung it at another man. The father was taken to St. Luke's Hospital. Steve Shellist, the father's attorney, said his client remained hospitalized.

Jazmine Hall allegedly pushed Gary Greaser, a grandfather who intervened, before both fell into bushes. Greaser suffered a broken hip, extensive scrapes and a chin injury that required seven stitches, ABC7 Los Angeles reported. Bystanders eventually separated those involved.

Court records cited in the report show Kiarious Hall was charged with assault causing bodily injury. Both Halls were booked into the Fort Bend County Jail, but the report did not identify Jazmine Hall's charge. Kiarious Hall claimed self-defense; court documents said video reviewed by officers did not show the elbowing and poking he described.

Lamar CISD said Jazmine Hall's resignation from her assistant principal position at Lamar Junior High School took effect Monday. The district said the incident happened outside school and was unrelated to any district-sponsored event or activity.

Shellist said he was discussing the case with the Fort Bend County District Attorney's Office and seeking consideration of upgraded charges, according to ABC7 Los Angeles. The report did not indicate that prosecutors had made such a change.
