A video from inside Great American Ball Park on Tuesday made the rounds on social media, showing a Cincinnati Reds fan enjoying his few seconds in the spotlight before things came crashing down.
One fan ran onto the field during a game between the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians and quickly discovered that he had made a terrible and painful decision.
19-year-old William Hendon got cheered by fans for his actions, but they, as well as he, were left in shock after he was promptly shocked with a Taser and arrested.
This moment came after he performed a backflip right in front of a pursuing officer.
Photos from that moment show just how badly he was in pain:
Not only was he hauled off to jail, but the moment did not help the team as the Reds fell to the Cleveland Guardians, 5-3.
Cincinnati Reds Fan Charged With Multiple Crimes For Running On Field During Game
William Hendon will forever regret this moment.
The 19-year-old was booked into the Hamilton County Jail in Ohio on a felony criminal trespass charge and a misdemeanor obstructing official business charge.
Fox 19 Cincinnati reported that the man “did knowingly run onto the Reds playing field during the game without permission to do so,” an officer wrote in a criminal complaint.
Furthermore, another document added Hendon allegedly impeding an officer’s lawful duties with purpose as he tried to run from the officer who was behind him.
