Millersport Police Chief Randall Lewis said on Thursday that the police report, which contains allegations of an assault following a March 6 baseball practice, was signed by the mother of a victim and that the case was being handed over to the city prosecutor.

Lancaster Law Director and City Prosecutor Terre Vandervoort said Thursday afternoon her office had not received the case yet.
The alleged offense is a simple assault charge, which is a first-degree misdemeanor, Lewis said.
