Stupid Yahoo Link!!!!


There's an old joke about the last words of a redneck: "Hold my beer and watch this." While such beer-holding moments often lead to mayhem and the occasional grievous bodily injury, in many cases they're simply just matters of common courtesy ... until the cops get involved, that is.
[Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football is open for business]
Arizona Cardinals season-ticket holder John Coulter was at Saturday's game, and as one does, wanted to get a picture. Also as one does, he was holding a beer at the time. So he handed his beer to his 15-year-old son for temporary safekeeping. And shortly afterward, he received a visit from some undercover stadium police, who informed him that he had been serving alcohol to a minor and would be immediately escorted from the stadium and handed a citation for trespassing.
"I thought it was a candid camera joke, I really did,” Coulter told USA TODAY Sports. “We just watched the opening kickoff and I wanted to take a quick picture. I literally handed my son my cup and said hold my cup, I reached into my pocket, grabbed my cell phone, put it on camera mode and took a picture.”
"Providing alcohol to an underage person or an underage person in possession of alcohol is a Class 1 misdemeanor," Sgt. Wesley Kuhl of the Arizona Department of Liquor License and Control told USA Today. "The consequences could be up to, and this is a maximum, of two years in jail, $2,500 fine and three years probation."
Certainly, underage drinking is a problem, and not just within NFL stadiums. But Coulter claims he was the victim of "abuse and overzealous pursuing of the situation." If that's true — and, remember, we're only getting one side of the story here — perhaps a little more discretion in the exercise of power might be advisable. Either that or we cut right to the chase and treat NFL stadiums like libraries. Shhhh!

Why would he get a citation for trespassing?

 

[TDs3nOut]

Heavy handed law enforcement in AZ? Imagine that!

 

[BritishDolfan]

Why would he get a citation for trespassing?

My guess, without knowing the law in question, is that by committing an offence on private property he becomes a trespasser.

Stupidest crap ever.

By the way: under cover officers of the Arizona department of liquor license and control at a baseball game? Great use of tax-payer dollars. I'm sure they're working really hard. And they could've arrested the guy & thrown him in jail for 2 years! Morons...

Stupid AZ cops once again.

This made me think: What if a beer vendor is passing beer down from where he's standing down to an adult and one of the people that passes that beer along the rows of seats is underage?

Isn't that vendor in violation of that law too? Wouldn't that also make the AZ Cardinals liable since their stadium allows this practice to happen?

Arizona is not the smartest of states so you can excuse them for this.

No because they came in with a ton of money and bought up shares is why it was bought by InBev... Also St. Louis didnt lose Bud its offices are still located here and the brewery is still here. And you do know that St. Louis is not in Arizona right...
