The ́nJesurúpresident of the Colombian Football Federation and his son were arrested for hitting two security officers and pushing another, shortly after the Copa America final at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
Ramón Jesurún Sr., 71, and his son Ramón Jamil Jesurún, 43, were arrested shortly after midnight Monday stemming from a fight with at least three stadium workers who denied them access to the field after the game.
They were charged with three counts of battery against a specified official or employee, according to jail records.

Police said the younger Jesurún grabbed a uniformed security officer around the neck, dragged him to the ground and kicked him in the head. He son also pushed, pulled and grabbed a female security guard after raising his fist, but not striking her.
The security officer who endured the head kick was transported to a local hospital by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue after the incident.
They were booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami just after 4:10 a.m. local time on Monday. The younger Jesurún remained in jail, pending a $1,000 bond, late Monday evening, while his father was released.
They were among 27 people arrested by the Miami-Dade Police Department during the final, while 55 others were ejected from the stadium.
