Disorderly conduct is generally a Class C misdemeanor, which is a ticket punishable by a maximum $500 fine.Īnd while streaking at a sporting event is definitely against the law, many pranksters believe the reward (notoriety, advertising, stories to tell your friends) outweighs the risks of any legal hurdle they may have to jump over after the fact. Criminal trespass is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a maximum $2,000 fine.
If he had pulled the prank in Texas, he likely would have been arrested for criminal trespass or disorderly conduct. He was released from jail Monday morning after posting a $500 cash bond. At a minimum, streakers can probably count on an overnight stay in jail and a lifetime ban from the venue.Īccording to USA Today, the Super Bowl LV streaker - identified as 31-year-old Yuri Andrade - is facing a misdemeanor trespassing charge for running on the field at Raymond James Stadium. The punishment depends on what laws were violated in the state in which the streaking occurred. Punishments for fans who streak during sporting events can vary from a slap on the wrist to jail time. So what will happen to the man who bared his backside in SuperBowl LV in Tampa, Florida? And what charges would he face if he were to pull that prank in Texas? Many joked on social media that he made more progress on the field than the Chiefs had all evening. He used a spin move to evade a security guard before making a beeline for the goal line, where he was ultimately brought down in the end zone by a squad of officers. The game came to a standstill as the streaker dashed past the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buckaneers as they lined up for a play. With 5:03 left in the fourth quarter, a man wearing a bright pink thong leotard and skintight shorts (which he later dropped) sprinted onto the field. "The defendant was placed under arrest on the field for trespassing upon the field.One of the highlights of this year’s big game was undoubtedly the Super Bowl streaker. "During the 4th quarter of the game, the defendant unlawfully jumped the fencing in the stands on the north side of the stadium and began to run across the field," police wrote in the arrest affidavit. According to an affidavit obtained by USA Today, Andrade was placed under arrest after being taken down on the field at Raymond James Stadium. The streaker, Yuri Andrade, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor trespassing. He said that the founder of the site, Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, is a friend of his and paid for his tickets to the game. While running across the field, Andrade was sporting a bathing suit with the name of an adult website written across it. "It wasn't nothing crazy like I was trying to harm anyone."
"It was just a joke between friends, pretty much," Andrade told USA Today. In a statement to that outlet, he simply said it was a joke between friends.
That is a little more detailed than what Andrade told USA Today about the incident. I immediately started calling every single person I know, and asked them to set up an account with Bovada and place those bets for me.” “We started searching Bovada, and the Bovada prop bet was +750 for a fan to run on the field. Once we came up with the plan, I called my friend, and he said, ‘I wonder if there’s a prop bet for that.’ One as a distraction so that all the security runs to him, and I could rush the field. “Before we even started the bet part, we wanted to do this for Vitaly Uncensored, which is my friend’s website … Vitaly has been trying to do this for five years and couldn’t do it, so I came up with a plan to do two people. “About $370,000,” Andrade said of how much he made by streaking. While the plan started out as a way to promote his friend’s website, Andrade quickly realized that he could make some cash off the stunt as well, and he cleared a significant amount of money. On Tuesday, Andrade called into Wild 94.1 in Tampa to reveal that there was some money in it for him. Security immediately restrained the scantily-clad streaker and escorted him off the field. The fan, whose name is Yuri Andrade, was actually able to elude a couple of security personnel before taking a hard hit at the goal line. Everyone watching at home quickly figured out that a streaker had taken the field. With about five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the players began pointing to something on the field. According to him, he was in it to earn some money. Apparently, the streaker that took center stage in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LV wasn’t just doing it because he had a wild hare.
