TD Garden bans 22-year-old Everett man for life for allegedly throwing drink during Celtics game
Justin Arnold was arrested, escorted out of the arena, and transported to a local police station after allegedly throwing a 20-ounce can of hard seltzer onto the court.
An Everett man has received a lifetime ban from TD Garden events after allegedly throwing a drink onto the court during Wednesday night’s Celtics-Spurs game.
Justin Arnold, 22, was arrested, escorted out of the arena, and transported to a local police station after allegedly throwing a 20-ounce can of hard seltzer onto the court from his seat in the second row of Section 303. The can exploded in front of San Antonio’s bench and necessitated a cleanup crew.
“This act is a serious violation of our guest code of conduct and as a result, the guest will be banned from all future events at TD Garden, for life,” TD Garden spokesperson Tricia McCorkle said in a statement issued Thursday.
Arnold’s alleged actions came in the third quarter after Celtics point guard Kemba Walker had been ejected. While arguing a non-call, Walker was quickly hit with two technical fouls for using profanity toward an official.
According to the Boston Police Department, Arnold is being charged with disturbing a public assembly. He was arraigned Thursday morning in Boston Municipal Court and is scheduled to appear back in court on March 12.
