What witnesses say happened inside M&T Bank Stadium
Attendee Troy Grevelding described the episode to media and posted video from the stadium. He said a man seated behind him became disruptive, then exposed himself and urinated, soaking Grevelding, his wife, his brother and his 8-year-old niece.
According to Grevelding, the man had been loud on his phone and had bumped into his party before the alleged assault. When the family realized what was happening, they confronted the individual.
Video, crowd reaction and attempts to get help
- Grevelding shared clips from the venue showing him speaking with officers on site.
- He said officers initially told him they could not make an arrest because they did not directly witness the act.
- Footage and eyewitness posts spread quickly on social platforms, prompting media coverage.
Investigation status and police statements
The Maryland Transportation Authority Police acknowledged awareness of the social media video and confirmed there is an open criminal investigation. Officials have not released full investigative details publicly.
Authorities say the case progressed after initial field reports and the viral dissemination of video. Arrest records show charges were filed following follow-up work that led to the suspect’s detention in another state.

Where this fits with Morgan Wallen’s tour and recent headlines
Morgan Wallen is on the Still the Problem Tour, playing stadiums across the U.S. The Baltimore episode is separate from the artist’s actions. Still, the tour has faced scrutiny in recent weeks for other disruptions.
Notable recent controversy around a canceled show
In June, a scheduled Wallen performance in Pittsburgh was canceled with the artist’s camp attributing it to expected severe weather. The decision drew pushback when Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor said his office had no record of being consulted by Wallen’s team.
- Wallen’s statement cited fan and crew safety because of storms.
- The mayor maintained there had been no direct contact with city public safety officials.
