A trial date of Feb. 28 has been set for James Camden, the 44-year-old Murphysboro man accused of attacking a referee during football game more than 17 months ago.Camden is accused of attacking veteran Southern Illinois official Mike Byrne of Marion on Sept. 22, 2003, during a sophomore football game at West Frankfort. […]
The incident took place with approximately two minutes left in the first half and with West Frankfort ahead by three touchdowns. Byrne stopped the game and told fellow referee and crew chief Tony Gualdoni of Herrin that he was ejecting a Murphysboro fan (Camden) for unsportsman-like behavior that included a continuous barrage of harassment and vulgar language directed at the officiating crew and the players.
After notifying Gualdoni, Byrne then notified West Frankfort athletic director Richard Glodich that he wanted Camden removed from the field. According to the police report that was filed, as Glodich approached the Murphysboro bleachers Camden allegedly ran past a restraining wire leading to the field and grabbed Byrne around the neck with both hands.
