Argument breaks out in football game stands

A man was cited and released on charges of disorderly conduct on Nov. 22 at 7:10 p.m.

A woman approached officers at the UA football game against Oregon State University, saying her boyfriend was arguing with another man in the stadium. The woman’s boyfriend came and pointed the man out to officers.

Officers approached the man, who seemed visibly upset, and asked him what was wrong. He said the woman’s boyfriend, who had the seat below his, had asked him, “”What is your f—— problem?”” so he responded by saying, “”You need to shut your f—— mouth, or I’ll kick your a–.””

The two men ended up on the west ramps, arguing with each other. A UA employee told the man who had the higher seat to calm down. He then “”got in”” the employee’s face and bumped his chest to the employee’s.

The man then told the officer that words were said between the two, and he had no intention of backing down from anybody. He also told officers he was “”pissed off”” and said some things he should not have said.

He was cited and released for disorderly conduct.

Man punched in the face in stadium bathroom

A man was cited and released on assault charges during the UA football game on Nov. 22 at 6:30 p.m.

A man approached an officer and said he had just been punched in the bathroom. He said that while he was going into the bathroom near Section 17, another man was yelling and cursing. Because there were children in the area, the first man said he told the other man to watch his language. A friend of the other man grabbed the first man’s arm and told him that his friend was “”just drunk.””

The first man entered the bathroom, then as he was finishing up, the other man walked up to the urinal next to him. As he was trying to leave, the other man stepped in front of him, so he attempted to push past him.

The other man then punched him in the face, leaving a large, raised, red area on his right cheekbone. He gave police a description of the other man and told them he could identify him if he was found.

Police took a man into custody matching the description of the other man. He was taken to the police command post where the first man identified him as the man who punched him.

The other man apologized many times to officers for causing problems. During his time with officers, they reported he had extreme mood swings. He went from being apologetic to angry about losing his shoe at the game. He was given a portable breath test, which showed him to have a blood alcohol content of .083.

He was cited on assault charges and released to a friend because of his BAC level.
