1/24/13 - A former youth football coach accused of assaulting another coach during a game has entered a plea in the case. 36-year-old Jonathan Michael White pleaded guilty to a single count of assault and battery in 53rd District Court in Brighton today. Under the terms of an agreement that was reached, White is expected to receive five days in jail and be required to undergo anger management treatment. Heâll be sentenced February 19th. The October 16th incident between White and another coach, who are said to be good friends, took place during a scrimmage game at Bennett Park in Hamburg Township. Hamburg Police say the two accused each other of dirty tactics during a heated argument that eventually escalated with White striking the man in the face. White was suspended for the remainder of that season from coaching or attending events and is suspended from coaching for the upcoming season but will be able to apply for reinstatement after that.
