On Tuesday, a Blue Jays fan tossed a beer can at Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim during the American League Wild Card Game. Toronto police identified that fan as Ken Pagan, a Postmedia Journalist, on Wednesday by piecing together video.
Pagan decided to turn himself in on Thursday to the authorities, and was subsequently charged with one count of mischief, according to the Toronto Star:
Accompanied by two lawyers, Postmedia journalist Ken Pagan surrendered at Toronto police's 52 Division around 7:15 p.m. Thursday and was charged with one count of mischief.
Pagan did not speak to media, but his lawyers expressed concerns about the "trial by social media" their client was facing.
The Star notes that there are conflicting theories floating around the internet on whether Pagan threw the can or not. Toronto police appear more confident that they got their man based on what the Rogers Centre security-cam footage showed. Fair enough.
We'll find out in due time if there is indeed enough enough evidence here to build a case against Pagan. At minimum, he's likely facing a lengthy -- if not lifetime -- ban from Rogers Centre.
