In the 9th inning of the Cincinnati Reds / Cleveland Guardians game Tuesday night, Reds fan William Hendon, a sophomore at OSU, ran onto the field of the Great American Ball Park in his socks and wearing a Johnny Bench jersey. A police officer approached, Hendon did a backflip, and the officer stopped him with a Taser.
Hendon “did knowingly run onto the Reds playing field during the game without permission to do so,” an officer wrote in one of his criminal complaints.
“Everybody thinks you landed that backflip,” Municipal Court Judge William Mallory said during Hendon’s arraignment Wednesday morning.
“I’m pretty sure I did,” replied Hendon.
Hendon pleaded not guilty.
