Colombian soccer chief and his son are both ARRESTED at Copa America final

By Max Winters

The head of Colombian soccer was arrested at the Copa America final on Sunday.

Ramon Jesurun is facing three felony counts of battery on a specified official or employee. 

Jesurun and his son, Ramon Jamil Jesurun, are accused of fighting security guards near a tunnel where the media had gathered at around 12:20am on Monday.

According to a Miami-Dade Police Department arrest report obtained by WPLG, the pair became ‘irate’ at a security guard and started ‘shouting at him.’

The 71-year-old Jesurun was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at around 4:15am on Monday – hours after Colombia were beaten 1-0 by Argentina in the final.

The incident allegedly turned physical when a security guard asked the men, who were ‘yelling in his face,’ to step backwards and placed a palm on Ramon Jesurun’s chest.

Police say that led the older Jesurun to push that guard, with his son then grabbing the guard’s neck and punching him.

Fox Sports Mexico has published video of the alleged incident on their Instagram page, showing a man in a gray shirt like the younger Jesurun was in his mugshot.  

Both men were scheduled to appear in Miami-Dade court on Monday.
