A fight among parents at their kids' soccer game in Indiana sent one man to jail, his wife to a hospital and another soccer dad to get a new pair of glasses. Gradley Lindemann was charged on Monday with two counts of battery and one count of criminal recklessness, each a misdemeanor good for up to a year in prison and a $5,000 fine. Lindemann and Paul Black argued about a referee's call Sunday. The game was for mostly 14-year-old players. Lindemann is accused of throwing a punch that broke Black's glasses. "On the follow-through, Lindemann hit his wife," sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Eddie Moore said. When officers arrived, Elaine Lindemann was semiconscious on the ground and bleeding from the scalp. She was treated at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis.
