The Detroit Lions fan who shined a laser pointer in the faces of Buffalo Bills players during Sunday’s matchup won’t be watching any more games from Ford Field.
The fan has been identified by the Lions and will be banned indefinitely from events at Ford Field effective immediately, the team announced, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The individual admitted to using the laser pointer, and has been charged with a misdemeanor for disorderly conduct.
The season ticket holder whose ticket was used by the offending individual will have their tickets revoked for the rest of the 2014 season.
“Our guest behavior expectations for all Ford Field events are very high,” Lions team President Tom Lewand said in a statement. “Additionally, this occurrence was unique in that it could have affected the integrity of the game and more importantly could have jeopardized player safety.
“Our priority is to provide an enjoyable and safe environment for all our patrons at Ford Field,” Lewand said. “The overwhelming majority of our guests are exceptional and we applaud their behavior and support.”
