A fan who allegedly threw a beer at Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill after he scored a 75-yard touchdown against the New England Patriots Sunday night has been charged with disorderly conduct, police said Monday.
The 21-year-old from Mansfield was also charged with throwing an object at a sporting event. He will be summoned to Wrentham District Court at a later date to face the charges.
Police did not identify him. The fan was seen on video throwing the beer at Hill, police said.
In a statement, the Patriots said team security had identified the fan.
“Gillette Stadium security has identified the fan who violated the fan code of conduct by tossing beer onto a player during the game last night,’’ the statement read. “The matter has been turned over to local law enforcement and the fan will be sent a letter of disinvite to all future events at Gillette Stadium.”
Hill said after the game that churlish behavior by the fans did not bother him. Hill scored three times and collected 142 receiving yards during the game.
“My coach [Andy Reid] told me, ‘Don’t get emotional. Don’t get mad about it because it comes with the territory,’” Hill said after the game. “I’m not mad at all.”
Representatives of the Patriots, Chiefs and Hill couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Monday afternoon. Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN Monday that he and his client wanted the fan prosecuted.
In 2015, Hill pleaded guilty to choking and punching his girlfriend, who was pregnant. His conviction was expunged after he completed three years of probation, according to published reports.
