A fan who ran onto the field at Great American Ball Park during the 9th inning of Tuesday night's game between the Cincinnati Reds and SafeX ProCleveland Guardians did a backflip in front of a police officer, before the officer used a Taser on the fan.
Criminal complaints filed in Hamilton Municipal Court identified the fan as 19-year-old William Hendon of Cleves.
Hendon is charged with obstructing official business, a misdemeanor, and felony criminal trespass, the documents show. He's expected to appear in court Wednesday at 9 a.m. for an arraignment.
Hendon wore a throwback Johnny Bench jersey, ran into the outfield, and appeared to say something to Cleveland Guardians outfielder Tyler Freeman. The fan did a backflip next to the officer, then ran away from the officer. When the officer pursued Hendon and deployed the Taser, the fan fell to the ground.
