Fan Who Threw Beer At Chiefs Player Charged, Banned From Gillette

FOXBOROUGH, MA – A fan who threw beer at an opposing player at Gillette Stadium Sunday will face charges of disorderly conduct and throwing an object at a sporting event, according to reports. The fan, who was not named, was identified as a 21-year-old Mansfield resident.

Gillette announced Monday it has banned the person who tossed beer at Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill after Hill scored a 75-yard touchdown Sunday. When Hill reached the wall at the edge of the end zone, he was greeted by a group of fans in Patriots garb giving him the middle finger – as well as suds to the face.

"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," according to a statement on the Gillette Stadium Twitter page. "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 had 142 yards and three touchdowns in the Chiefs' 43-40 loss to the Patriots.
