Colombian Football Federation president Ramon Jesurun has been released on bail following his arrest at the Copa América final, according to videos published in Colombian media on Monday.
A Miami-Dade County police file indicated Jesurun had been arrested on charges of "assault on officer/employee" on Sunday night at Hard Rock Stadium.
Security guards refused Jesurun access to the field, with his son and other family members, for the awards ceremony after Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0, a scuffle broke out and Jesurun and his son were arrested, Colombian newspaper El Tiempo reported.
"This badge says 'full access' and a security guard … disregarded it," Jesurun said, pointing to his official credentials after he was released having reportedly posted $2,000 bail.
"I insisted (to the security guard) that I should enter and he pushed me and a ridiculous, unnecessary melee broke out," the 71-year-old Jesurun told the El Heraldo newspaper.
