Fan who pointed laser at Tom Brady will be banned from Arrowhead Stadium
The fan who flashed a laser at Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during last month’s AFC Championship Game has been identified and is facing a lifetime ban from Arrowhead Stadium.
A Chiefs spokesperson said the team is working with authorities to charge the fan “as aggressively as possible,” but ultimately that will be up to prosecutors in Jackson County to decide. Michael Mansur, a spokesman for the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, said charges have not been filed as of Sunday.
The Chiefs said the fan was not a season-ticket holder, but he or she will never be allowed in Arrowhead Stadium again.
A source with the Chiefs said the team used videotape and eyewitnesses to find the culprit after William Joy of KMBC (Ch. 9) first shared footage of a green light being directed at Brady.
The incident happened in the fourth quarter of the championship game, which the Patriots won 37-31 in overtime. The Patriots won Super Bowl LIII on Sunday night, beating the LA Rams 13-3.
