Coach Pulls Gun After Pee-Wee Football Game Brawl: Cops

ROCKFORD, IL — The Rockford Police Department is asking for the public's help with an investigation stemming from a fight after a Saturday pee-wee football game at Rockford Lutheran High School, 3411 N. Alpine Road. Police said two people were arrested and are facing several charges after officers responded to a brawl where at least one suspect was armed, sending crowds of people running.

According to police, officers learned the fight between parents and the coaches of the Calumet City Thunderbolts and Rockford Renegades resulted in a parent hitting a coach before Calumet Coach Terrance Morris, 43, from Indiana, pulled out a gun.

Although police said no shots were fired, Morris and another coach, 39-year-old Devorah Clark, also from Indiana, were arrested. Officers recovered a firearm during the investigation.

Police said no students or players were involved in the altercation.

The Winnebago County State's Attorney's Office listed charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and mob action against Morris and unlawful use of a weapon, mob action, obstructing identification and resisting arrest against Clark, police said. Both are being held in the Winnebago County Jail.

Anyone with information is asked to call 815-966-2900.
