NBC MIAMI – A man was arrested for running down stairs of the AmericanAirlines Arena without pants in an attempt to reach the court during Tuesday night’s Miami Heat playoff game, authorities said.
Kyle Morrison, 22, was arrested early Wednesday morning and faces charges including disorderly conduct, resisting an officer with violence, battery on an officer, trespassing and indecent exposure, police said. He is being held on $6,500 bond in the Miami-Dade County Jail.
Morrison, who is from Orlando but attends Jacksonville University, said he was in Miami to attend the game. He told a bond court judge he was going to receive money for his stunt.
“I am actually entitled to 10 grand because of what I did,” Morrison told the judge before he was silenced by a public defender.
Police said Morrison ran down stairs of section 120 and 121 without pants on in an attempt to gain access to the floor during the game, but was stopped by an officer.
The officer, who said Morrison tried to push him out of the way, said he caused a “large number of people to stop watching the game and focus on his actions,” according to an affidavit.
