Bernard Schirmer, a 19-year-old offensive lineman for Mt. San Antonio College in California, was arrested and spent a night in jail over the weekend after he knocked out a referee during a skirmish in a game against Ventura County Community College. A fight was brewing between the two teams and Schirmer had to be restrained by several of his teammates; referees also tried to step in and calm things down. Unfortunately, one of the referees got in tight on Schirmer, who is listed at 6'5" 270 pounds, and Schirmer's punch sent the ref sprawling, knocking him unconscious.VIDEO: Mt.
