"According to the South Bend Tribune, which first reported the story, the alleged incident involved Freeman and New Prairie High School wrestling assistant coach Chris Fleeger. Freeman and his family were at the Al Smith Wrestling Invitational to support his son, Vinny, a senior who is heading to Cornell. Fleeger filed a police report this past week accusing Freeman of battery."
"Marcus and Joanna Freeman intervened and removed Vinny from the situation. At no point did Coach Freeman physically engage with anyone. We believe that the police report, which includes video evidence, fully exonerates Coach Freeman and makes clear these accusations are totally unfounded."
