Boy tackled by security after running onto field at Bucs game

TAMPA, Fla. -- A boy ran onto the field and was tackled hard by a security guard in the second quarter of Tampa Bay's game against Atlanta on Sunday.

A woman who identified herself as the child's mother told The Associated Press the boy is 10 years old. A police officer later told the AP the boy is older than 10 but couldn't release his information because he is a juvenile. The officer said the mother has several children and was confused about which one jumped onto the field.

The boy will be released with a notice to appear at a juvenile hearing, according to the police officer.
