Detailed Report of Incident
St. John was constantly asking for clarification of laws, complaining about my calls, and apparently did not understand that he was not a captain. I made it clear that I did not want to hear from him again with a formal warning. Approximately 20 minutes into the first half, St. John illegally barreled through a ruck, stomping as he went, with intent. I explained to him why I gave him a red card. He then replied "Thats bull---" I replied by telling him to leave the playing enclosure. I turned to explain the red and send off, he completely understood.

I heard some laughing from the sidelines whilst talking to the captain, to see a completely naked St. John standing on the sidelines. He stood there for a few moments staring back at the field, then put his pants on. I then explained to the Lyndon Captain that this would all be going in my report. I then heard more laughing/screaming from the sidlines. I turn to see St. John had put his genitals through his zipper and was revealing himself to Merrimack fans on Lyndon's sideline. At this point I told Merrimack's Police Officer and he escorted St. John off the premesis. The game continued without anymore issues, and Lyndon State was extremely apologetic.
