Handswarmer 645 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 The Chiefs fan who shined a laser in the face of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during the AFC Championship Game has been fined. Dwyan Morgan was given a $500 fine from a judge after pleading guilty to disturbing the peace, TMZ.com reports. A green light flashed across Brady’s face during the Patriots-Chiefs game in January. Laser pointers can cause eye injuries and could easily distract a player during a game, but Brady did not appear to notice it. The Chiefs used the video and witness accounts to identify the 64-year-old Morgan as the fan who had the laser pointer, and the team banned him from Arrowhead Stadium for life. That was not the first time such an incident has occurred at an NFL game. During a 2014 Bills-Lions game in Detroit, Buffalo players complained that a Lions fan had been shining a laser pointer at them. The fan was found and eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct, paid a $235 fine and was sentenced to 80 hours of community service. That fan was a guest of a season ticket holder, and the Lions revoked his season tickets. 64 years old? WTF man..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhitter 1,426 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Personally, I think he got off light. Fine should have been at least $1,000 plus some community service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have gotten away due to age but he's banned for life just when we get Mahomes so that should be brutal enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handswarmer 645 Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Morgan told Inside Edition in May that he was surprised to be cited by prosecutors and said "I shouldn't have done it," although he said he wasn't "gonna apologize to Brady or the Patriots."
