A 22-year-old Everett man was arrested during Wednesday night’s Celtics-Spurs game and is being charged with disturbing a public assembly, according to the Boston Police Department.
Justin Arnold was escorted out of the arena and transported to a local police station after throwing a 20-ounce can of Truly Hard Seltzer onto the court from his seat in Section 303 of TD Garden. The can exploded in front of San Antonio’s bench and necessitated a cleanup crew.
Arnold’s actions came in the third quarter after Celtics point guard Kemba Walker had been ejected. While arguing a non-call, Walker was quickly hit with two technical fouls for using profanity toward an official.
