JasperJASPER, Tenn. — After problems arose with a recent adult softball tournament at Jasper City Park, officials said they would not stand for any more misbehavior at the facility.
Jasper Parks and Recreation Director Chris Slatton said any tournament at the park has a “zero tolerance on misbehavior, alcohol use or anything like that.”
Tournament attendees are told of the park rules before the events begin, officials said.
Slatton said he was walking through the complex with his daughter during the tournament when they encountered a player who was intoxicated and dropping trash on the ground.
After he told the man there was no drinking in the park and that he needed to pick up the trash, Slatton said the man “proceeded to say a couple of [foul] words.”
