MONROE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – A Monroe County deputy is charged after a fight at a pee-wee football game.

Voyles says officers were called to the football field three times Saturday before any arrests were made.

Monroe County Sheriff Cecil Cantrell says the deputy was suspended. He will wait until the deputy makes a court appearance to decide if more disciplinary action is needed.

The two people arrested are charged with disorderly conduct and simple assault.

WCBI decided not release the deputy’s name until the other person arrested has been identified.
