A Morgan Wallen concert in Baltimore took an ugly turn Saturday when a man allegedly urinated on a family in the crowd at M&T Bank Stadium, according to TMZ.
Troy Grevelding told TMZ he was at the show with his wife, his brother and his 8-year-old niece when the man seated directly behind them began urinating. Grevelding said the alleged stream hit him, his relatives and another nearby group.
Grevelding said he and his wife felt liquid running down their legs. When he turned around, he claimed the man was still exposed.
Event security removed the man from the area, Grevelding told TMZ. He said a Maryland State Police trooper who responded at first told him officers could not arrest the man because the trooper had not personally seen the alleged incident.
Police say the case remains open
Grevelding told TMZ that a Maryland Transportation Authority Police detective later found and detained the man outside the stadium.
TMZ reported that video from the concert shows officers speaking with Grevelding and explaining how he and his family could pursue charges. Grevelding said MDTA Police is now handling the matter.
MDTA Police told TMZ the agency is “aware of this incident and the video that is on social media” and said there is “an active and open criminal investigation into this matter.”
TMZ said it contacted M&T Bank Stadium, which is owned by the Baltimore Ravens, but had not received a response.
Concertgoer claims man had been disruptive earlier
Grevelding told TMZ he believed the man was intoxicated and sitting in a seat that was not his. He also said the man had been disruptive before the alleged urination, including loudly talking on his phone and bumping into people.
According to Grevelding, the man eventually quieted down before the alleged incident happened.
Grevelding also told TMZ that someone from the stadium said the venue would make things right, but he said he had not heard back.
Wallen performed Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium as part of his concert schedule. The allegations described by Grevelding involve a spectator at the show, and TMZ did not report that Wallen was involved in the incident.
The man accused by Grevelding has not been publicly identified in TMZ’s report. MDTA Police described the matter as an open criminal investigation, and no further details about potential charges were provided.
