Florida Woman Arrested After Kicking A Kid During A Football Game Brawl

A Florida woman has been taken into custody by the Lee County Sheriff's Office after allegedly kicking a child at a youth football game after there was some kind of an on-field brawl and claiming she had no choice.

34-year-old Renee Lynn Lambert was booked on suspicion of cruelty to a child without great bodily harm and resisting an officer, according to a Lee County Sherrif's arrest report.

Deputies were called out to a youth football game at Brooks Park in Fort Myers on Saturday after they "became aware of a large brawl located in the middle of the field," the arrest report written by Detective Nicholas Cittadino says.

Parents had run onto the field to intervene with the players and pull them off of each other, when witnesses say they saw Lambert repeatedly kicking a juvenile male who was on the ground.

Witnesses "quickly identified a white female who was leaving the area to have been a suspect of a battery on a juvenile," according to the report.

Lambert claimed she was hit first by the boy, and repeatedly asked deputies why they were questioning her and not the offending player, according to law enforcement bodycam footage.

"So are you mad at them for hitting me?" Lambert asked.

"I'm mad at an adult for attacking a kid," the officer replied. "Stop, you're detained right now."

"No I'm not. Goodbye," Lambert said, who expressed not understanding why she was the one in cuffs.

"Get your hands off me," she said in footage. "I'm the one who got hit."

"You are being pointed out as being a suspect, you are detained," the officer told her.

This went on and on.

She was booked on a charges of cruelty to a child without great bodily harm and resisting an officer.
