Atlanta area coach arrested after shooting at youth football game in Middle Georgia

MACON, Ga – A youth soccer coach is facing charges after firing a gun into the air during a travel soccer game at Henderson Stadium earlier this month, the Bibb County Sheriff's Office reported.

The incident occurred on Oct. 5 at 6:51 p.m. when officers responded to reports of shots fired at the youth game. According to the sheriff's office, tensions escalated due to “aggressive social media posts” exchanged between opposing teams before the game.

WGXA reports that security personnel intervened, separated the groups and ordered them to leave the field. However, a second altercation broke out between players, parents, coaches and cheerleaders. During the disturbance, an Atlanta youth coach identified as Donta Williams Sr. reportedly produced a handgun and fired into the air.

Williams was arrested on several charges, including reckless conduct and discharging a firearm near a public street or road. According to deputies, other participants in the scuffle were also arrested and faced charges including disorderly conduct and obstruction.
