Man arrested for Wnba Sex-Toy throwing at Liberty Game
A recent incident at a WNBA game in New York has sparked controversy and led to arrests. A man from Ohio, Charles Burgess, was arrested for throwing a sex toy onto the court during a game between the Dallas Wings and the New York Liberty on August 5. This incident is part of a disturbing trend where similar disruptions have occurred at WNBA games across the country, resulting in multiple arrests.
Burgess, a 32-year-old man from Dayton, Ohio, was charged with two counts of abuse for his actions. He voluntarily surrendered to New York authorities and was released pending a court date in December. Burgess, who owns a car shop and has six children, plans to fight the charges against him.
Surveillance video reportedly shows Burgess taking the sex toy out of his pants and throwing it onto the court, although it does not appear that anyone was actually hit by the object. Similar incidents have occurred at WNBA games in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Chicago, causing game delays and disruptions.
In Phoenix, an 18-year-old named Kaden Lopez was arrested for throwing a sex toy onto the court. He claimed it was a joke that he saw trending on social media and decided to participate in. Lopez was tackled by a volunteer at the arena and arrested on suspicion of abuse, disorderly conduct, and publicly displaying explicit material.
Another man, Delbert Carver, was arrested in Georgia for throwing sex toys onto the court at Atlanta Dream games. He was charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, public indecency, and indecent exposure. Carver claimed that it was meant to be a viral joke.
League officials have stated that anyone caught throwing objects onto the court will be ejected from the arena and potentially banned from attending future games. The incidents have been linked to a group associated with a cryptocurrency meme coin.
These disruptive and inappropriate actions have no place in sports events and have resulted in legal consequences for those involved. It is important for fans to show respect for the players and the game by refraining from engaging in such behavior.
