A red card in a soccer game has turned into a felony charge in Third District Court for a West Valley man.
Ethan Eli Harris, 41, was charged with aggravated assault, a second-degree felony, after throwing an opposing player to the ground and breaking his collarbone in an adult-league soccer match.
According to court documents, that opposing player filed a complaint after the Oct. 27 incident at Falcon Park in Sandy. The man said he and Harris were competing for the ball, and that after he won control “he felt Harris collide with him and push him hard from the back, which is all part of the game.
