The recordings show officers responding to a dispute between league staff and the child's parents at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Winter Park.

A video showing the boy, identified as Nevada, scoring goals during an i9 Sports match attracted more than four million views, according to News 6. Online posts claimed police were called because he was playing too well. The league official told officers the dispute involved alleged pushing and disagreements over substitutions.
