Last Saturday, a man threw a beer bottle than landed near Ryan Howard’s feet. Nobody could seem to identify or find the man. A social media movement commenced to find him, but that didn’t do any good. So, the man decided to be a do-gooder, or something, and turn himself in to the police on Friday. Via PhillyVoice:
The man who allegedly threw an aluminum beer bottle at Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard earlier this month turned himself into Philadelphia Police on Friday.
Sidney Smith, 21 of Wilmington, Delaware, was issued a summary citation for disorderly conduct and released by police at the South Detective Division.
We never published names we’d heard thrown around because nothing was ever confirmed. And we’re glad we didn’t.
