Jorge Aponte-Gonzalez, 41, was arrested Wednesday after police say he sucker punched an umpire at his son's high school baseball game last month. He is being charged with felony battery.
Video of the altercation shows an unsuspecting Mora walking away from the field between innings as Aponte-Gonzalez approaches him from behind.

"As his back is turned … one of the high school students’ fathers that’s in the game, leaves the stands, walks directly toward the umpire and just knocks him out. Just knocks him out right there on the ground," Lopez said.
"The kid was being disruptive, so the umpire’s like, ‘Hey, tone it down,’ maintaining control," Lopez said."They went back and forth a little bit. I don’t know exactly what was exchanged, but … that is what upset the father."Aponte-Gonzalez told law enforcement he was"defending my kid," but Lopez said during the press conference that he showed no remorse.
