Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center: Colombian Football Federation president Ramon Jesurun Franco and his son Ramon Jamil have been arrested on the charges of battery, following a brawl at Sunday's Copa America final in Miami.

Jail records show that 71-year-old Jesurun, who is also the vice president of CONMEBOL, the South American soccer body that organised the continental tournament, and his 43-year-old son Jamil were booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center around 4:20 am Monday (US time), where they remained as of 3 pm on Monday, according to a report from the Miami New Times.

The father-son duo were allegedly involved in a violent altercation with multiple security guards who were attempting to keep people away from a media-gathering area following the sold-out match between Colombia and Argentina at the Hard Rock Stadium.
