MISHAWAKA, Ind. -- Mishawaka Police Department confirmed to ABC57 that Notre Dame Coach Marcus Freeman has been accused of battery against New Prairie High School's assistant wrestling coach, Chris Fleeger. 

Police say a report was filed against Freeman for an alleged altercation on Saturday, Jan. 3, at Mishawaka High School. 

The report states Freeman and Fleeger were at the Al Smith Wrestling Invitational, with Freeman there to support his son, Vinny, a Penn High School senior, and Fleeger coaching the Cougars.

Authorities say the alleged altercation took place after Vinny lost a match against Hanover Central senior Israel Sinnott.

According to the report, as Vinny was escorted off the mat and out of the gym by Freeman and Penn head coach Brad Harper, Fleeger allegedly began exchanging words with the group.

The report states as Freeman walked through the doorway into the hallway, physical contact allegedly occurred between him and Fleeger, but police did not disclose the extent of the alleged contact.

Authorities say once in the hallway, Fleeger and Freeman’s wife, Joanna, engaged in an alleged shouting match before police and Mishawaka school officials separated the two groups.

Police say the Freemans were not officially asked to leave but decided to leave after the altercation.

Vinny was one of just two not present of the 112 athletes that reached the podium across the 14 weight classes.

Notre Dame issue a statement Sunday stating:

"Vinny Freeman, head coach Marcus Freeman's son, was verbally accosted during and after his wrestling match by a local wrestling coach. Marcus and Joanna Freeman intervened and removed Vinny from the situation. At no point did Coach Freeman physically engage with anyone. We believe that the police report, which includes video evidence, fully exonerates Coach Freeman and makes clear these accusations are totally unfounded."

The Mishawaka police have turned over the completed report to the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office to determine if any charges will be filed.
