You'd think Phillies fans couldn't reach a new low, but apparently they can: a fan taunting a police officer was accused of intentionally vomiting on the cop and his family.
You'd think Phillies fans couldn't reach a new low, but apparently they can: a fan taunting a police officer was accused of intentionally vomiting on the cop and his family.
Matthew Clemmens, 21, was ejected from a Phillies game last week after allegedly vomiting on the cop and his two daughters. Sitting in Section 130, Clemmens and a pal were accused of arguing with the cop from the beginning of the game; when the pal was ejected, Clemmens allegedly announced his intention of vomiting on the cop and his kids, stuck his fingers down his throat, and sprayed everyone in the vicinity. Numerous eyewitnesses interviewed by the Philadelphia Daily News confirmed the account, though Clemmens' defenders say the vomiting was purely unintentional.
