A North Carolina man was arrested after an upstate New York couple and two young family members were urinated on during a concert by country singer Morgan Wallen in Maryland.
Maryland Transportation Authority Police (MDTA) said Wednesday that the 33-year-old suspect was taken into custody following an investigation into an incident that occurred at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore last month.
“MDTA Police Officers providing support to the Baltimore Police Department at the Morgan Wallen concert responded to a report of a fight in progress at the stadium,” authorities said in a statement announcing the arrest of Jayson Reed. “Upon the officers’ arrival, security personnel identified individuals who had been involved in an altercation. Officers separated those involved, identified a male suspect, and escorted the suspect out of the stadium.”
Cops said they learned from victims and witnesses that Reed had allegedly urinated on concert attendees. Charges against him include four counts of second-degree assault, public urination “and other related offenses.”
Reed was detained in North Carolina and is expected to be extradition to Maryland.
Concertgoer Troy Grevelding, from the Syracuse area, posted video online after the incident, accusing the suspect of exposing himself, then urinating on him, his wife and at least one member of his brother’s family, including two young girls.
Grevelding complained that law enforcement appeared to be doing nothing to help him or his family after the incident occurred.
“There’s no describing what that little kid just seen and felt and had to go through,” he said of his 8-year-old niece, who was allegedly peed on.
The girl and her 11-year-old sister were said to have been given tickets to Wallen’s show as a Christmas present. Grevelding said he and his wife were psyched to see the “Wasted on You” country crooner perform. Little did they know, the meaning of that hit would be bizarrely twisted.
“Our wedding song was a Morgan Wallen song,” he said.
Grevelding complained that he and his family smelled of urine as they drove back to their Airbnb nearly two hours from the concert venue, according to upstate station WYSR-TV.
The alleged incident happened toward the start of the concert. Grevelding initially thought the person behind him had spilled his beer.
