Connecticut Coach Charged After Hitting Parent with Car

Bryan Baez-Rivera, a youth basketball coach in Connecticut, faces several charges after allegedly hitting a parent, Jason Suprenant, with his car following an argument at a game in Columbia. The incident, captured on surveillance video, shows Suprenant approaching Baez-Rivera's vehicle, which then accelerated towards him, causing him to land on the hood and fall to the ground. Suprenant was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, including a concussion, while Baez-Rivera claims he did not have time to avoid the collision. Baez-Rivera, who has a history of legal issues, including previous assault charges, was arrested and released on a $5,000 bond. The altercation stemmed from a dispute over comments made by players during the game, escalating into a confrontation in the parking lot. Both individuals involved in the incident have been charged, with Suprenant facing breach of peace charges.
