A man accused of throwing a can of beer onto the field during Tuesday night’s wild-card game at the Rogers Centre has been charged with mischief in connection with the incident.
The incident, which has prompted widespread outrage, occurred just as Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim was about to catch a fly ball during the seventh inning of the do-or-die game.
The man, identified as Hamilton resident Ken Pagan, contacted police after they released an image of a suspect in connection with the investigation on Wednesday.



Ken Pagan is seen arriving to speak with Toronto police on Thursday, Oct. 6, 2016.



Toronto police released a photo of a suspect Wednesday evening after a beer can was thrown onto the playing field during a Blue Jays Wild Card game on Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2016.



Police sources had previously said that investigators had “clear and convincing evidence” tying the man to the incident, including surveillance camera footage from inside the stadium.
Since meeting with his lawyer, Pagan arrived at 52 Division just before 7:30 p.m. on Thursday night.
He has since been charged with one count of mischief, his lawyer and police confirmed shortly thereafter.
“The police have been fair with us in dealing with this,” his lawyer, Tyler Smith, told reporters outside the police station.
“He’s here to co-operate as much as he can right now. But at the end of the day, he’s presumed innocent, and he won’t have anything further to say.”
Pagan is expected to appear in court on Nov. 24.
In an interview with the Toronto Sun published Wednesday night, Pagan said that he was not the one who threw the beer.
“I was drinking out of a cup,” he reportedly said.
Pagan is an employee of Postmedia.

I suspect this will not end well if he's found guilty both from a legal / employment situations.

Yeah you can imagine in lawsuit coming if found not guilty!!!

[ZR]

True that as well.
Innocent until proven guilty, good point.

Whether he threw the beer or not, I think they're focusing too much attention on the whole thing really.. Like, who really cares?? Maybe it's cause someone who really LOVES beer said how could they do that to a poor defenseless beer!? LOL RIP Beer :'(

I put about as much stock into stuff like a thrown beer as I did when Kim Kardashian got robbed.. I actually laughed in hysterics!! LOL Looks good on her!!

Incident begs the question, was said beer tossed at the outfielder and almost hit him or was he close to where a randomly tossed beer landed?

[baddbullitt]

Maybe he was offering him a beer as a token of friendship!!! It's how I make friends.. Well that and good bbq too...lol

It was a can of Bud Light. Someone who really LOVES beer would throw it too.

Oh.. So it wasn't even a beer beer.. It was a near beer.. Then why not throw a bottle of Dasani out there then.. Sheesh!!

I can't wait to see how this plays out. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the courtroom.

Regardless what kind of beer it was, I can't believe they wasted a $15 beer.
