And that would be covered under the normal assault laws. LINK
quote:

§36. Assault defined

Assault is an attempt to commit a battery, or the intentional placing of another in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery.


Here, if the ref feels threatened or has emotional distress, it's a crime.

Again, the statute posted in the OP says "fear of receiving bodily harm", not "feels threatened or has emotional distress". If I'm missing that somewhere, show me where.

Also, "fear of receiving bodily harm" is basically the same thing as "placing of another in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery".

Just don't be an a-hole and threaten an official and everyone will be fine.
