According to CBS News, Andrea Bucci has been charged for an incident that took place during a July 20 game at the Robert Morris University Island Sports Center in Ohio Township.Â
Bucci reportedly became angry when her son was disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct after a blindside hit on an opponent. As the referee removed Bucci's son from the ice, Andrea Bucci grabbed the 16-year-old's shirt.Â
Later, when the referee was coming off the ice at the end of the game, Andrea Bucci and her husband, Michael Bucci, allegedly attempted to intimidate the ref by using profanity and lunging at him.Â
In a criminal complaint the facility's manager told police that she's had multiple problems with Andrea Bucci in the past. The family has since been banned from the facility.Â
In addition to assault on a sports official, Andrea Bucci also faces harassment, assault and disorderly conduct charges. Michael Bucci was not charged.
