What an idiot. Bet he is gonna get much more than teabagged in Angola...and for his trouble he will get to register as a sex offender when he gets out for the rest of his life. The guy literally ruined his life, and possibly that of his wife and kids, over football rivalry.

I heard it on Head-To-Head with Richard Cross and Matt Wyatt yesterday. The Alabama guy was supposed to be headed down to New Orleans yesterday for a court appearance today with his lawyer. Sexual misconduct is the charge.
I doubt the guy ever sees Angola except on Discovery Channel. If the New Orleans court systems puts this guy in Angola for this, then they might as well shut down Bourbon Street!

Be that as it may, if convicted, he will have to register as a sex offender. Moreover, I suspect this guy has larger problems if he gets enjoyment out of placing his nuts on another man's face.Drakeshead wrote:I heard it on Head-To-Head with Richard Cross and Matt Wyatt yesterday.

Edit: He is facing felony sexual battery charge and an obscenity charge. If convicted on the felony, he could face up to 15 years in the state pen. Moreover, sex offenders are not eligible for early release in Louisiana. I am sure the charges will be reduced after much money is spent. He has already lost his job over it. I have heard that Bama fans have started a legal defense fund for this idiot.

Don't have a link. A Bama grad friend of mine told me that is what he had heard. I believe it is set up in a bank if the state, if it is set up at all.webbmaster wrote:Link please!!!Deltamud77 wrote: I have heard that Bama fans have started a legal defense fund for this idiot.

Re: Alabama Fan Teabagger Turns Himself In
Guy is an idiot, in todays world you have to realize everyone has a phone with camera or video camera and it is gonna make it on YouTube or something. Now I am not defending the guy but had this not been involved with the LSU/Bama game it would not have gotten as much attention and they would have not been trying to track him down. Maybe this will make fans think twice about the way they interact with other teams fans.

Alabama fan arrested in connection to post-game assault video
Posted by Ben Kercheval on January 20, 2012, 9:44 AM EST
Have to love the power of the internet. And, in this case, the sheer stupidity of someone who willingly commits a possible crime while being recorded with a cell phone.
Less than a week after a video surfaced of an Alabama fan “placing his genitals” on a seemingly unconscious LSU fan after the BCS championship game on Deadspin.com, police have arrested a man in connection to said video.
According to multiple media outlets, a man,Brian Downing of Alabama, has turned himself in to New Orleans police and been booked on charges of sexual battery and obscenity. Downing, 32, came to the police station with his lawyer yesterday.
New Orleans police issued an alert to aid in identifying the man two days ago. Outkickthecoverage.com reports that Downing’s identity was discovered via an Auburn message board, although the Associated Press adds that both LSU and Alabama provided information that led to Downing’s arrest.
Interestingly enough, Downing’s second cousin, Sheriff Heath Taylor of Russell County, Ala., was the one who made the call to Downing’s father to bring Downing to a Phenix City police station after he had heard about Downing’s connection to the video. Taylor also called NOPD and asked them to make a decision on Downing.
“I wasn’t going to let anybody say that because he’s my family I wasn’t doing anything about it,” Taylor told the AP. ”You’ve just got to do the right thing.”
Downing has also been fired from his job at a Hibbertt Sports store.

Re: Alabama Fan Teabagger Turns Himself In
Brian Downing, Alabama fan wanted in post-BCS sexual assault on LSU fan arrested in New Orleans
Published: Friday, January 20, 2012, 4:20 AM Updated: Friday, January 20, 2012, 6:03 AM
Brian Downing, identified as the Alabama fan who pressed his testicles on the neck of an unconscious LSU fan in a Bourbon Street burger joint after the BCS Championship Game, was arrested by New Orleans police Thursday night after driving to meet police. Downing, of Smiths Station, Ala., was taken into custody by New Orleans police about 10 p.m.
Detectives met Downing, 32, at his attorney's office in Mid-City and then took him to Central Lock-Up, where he was booked with one count of sexual battery and one count of obscenity.
Earlier in the day, Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor, who said he is a second cousin to Downing, said he personally spoke with the NOPD sex crimes detective handling the case about whether to arrest the man or send him to New Orleans for questioning.
Although he'd heard about the video -- which has created a firestorm on the Internet -- for a couple days, Taylor said he watched it Thursday morning at the prompting of other people who suggested the University of Alabama fan was his relative. The man in the video indeed appeared to be Downing, he said.
"So then I went out there and looked at it and was, like, you have to be kidding me," Taylor said. At that point, he called Downing's father and told him to bring his son to the sheriff's office.
Downing and a lawyer came in, but left after the NOPD detective instructed Taylor that his cousin should come to New Orleans. Taylor said he did not question Downing, nor did any of his deputies.
"It is a shock that it happened as an Alabama fan. It is a shocker that it is my family. It is out of character for Brian," Taylor said. "I would never in a million years have dreamed he would have done that, period. I assume, like everybody else does, it is not a Photoshopped picture of him."
Downing was initially identified by two sports websites, Deadspin and Out Kick The Coverage. Deadspin at first identified the man only by first name, while also posting photographs found on the Internet. The Columbus, Ga., newspaper subsequently posted an online story quoting Taylor, who identified Downing as the Alabama fan.
The video of the incident has sparked a media firestorm across the Gulf Coast. The recording, taken shortly before midnight on Jan. 9, shows a man clad in Alabama crimson, thrusting his testicles onto the neck of an unconscious LSU fan at the Krystal Burger on Bourbon Street. The LSU fan sits in a chair, with his head down on the counter. Nobody makes any effort to stop the assault.
Before the man in the video exposed himself, other Alabama fans crowded around the unconscious man in LSU purple and gold, putting fast-food cartons on his head and back, jeering and posing for pictures. The man who eventually exposes himself initially puts his fingers in the LSU fan's nose and ear.
Earlier this week, police said the NOPD's Sex Crimes Unit had reviewed the video, but said a thorough investigation would hinge on the victim's cooperation. On Wednesday, however, police issued a news release asking for help identifying the perpetrator. Police did not say whether the victim had come forward.
In the NOPD release, police categorized the assault as sexual battery, which under state law includes "the touching of the ... genitals of the offender by the victim" without the victim's consent. A victim who is incapacitated or unconscious is generally viewed as not having given consent.
Both Deadspin and Out Kick The Coverage reported that Downing worked at a Hibbett sporting goods store in Columbus, which is on the Alabama border.
A vice president with Hibbett Sports would not confirm that Downing worked for the company, but he said the company learned Wednesday that the person in the video was a company employee. By 5:00 p.m., Hibbett had made the decision to fire the man, said Scott Myers, vice president of loss prevention and human resources.
"We felt comfortable to terminate employment of the person in the video," Myers said. "We don't support or condone these activities and it is certainly nothing we are about."

Re: Alabama Fan Teabagger Turns Himself In
I am not condoning what this guy did, but if you have ever been on Bourbon Street, there has probably worse things done. I am sure that during Decadence week MUCH worse and nastier things are done!
