The man that was mistakenly identified by the Cleveland Browns as the fan that poured beer on a Tennessee Titans player has filed a lawsuit against the team.
Eric Smith filed the lawsuit Tuesday morning in Cuyahoga County, court records confirmed.
According to his attorney Bruce Taubman, Smith is seeking a public retraction from the Browns, in addition to financial damages.
During Tennessee's win over the Browns in Week 1, Titans defensive back Logan Ryan was doused with beer after jumping the wall in the Dawg Pound. The Browns swiftly identified Smith as the culprit and, according to Smith, banned him from FirstEnergy Stadium.
