The Backflip Reds Streaker Had A Hilarious Exchange With The Judge In Charge Of His Case

So this dude does a backflip, gets tased, and arrested. Then the Judge just starts giving him mad props. 

Hendon ran onto the field at Great American Ball Park during the Reds-Cleveland Guardians game Tuesday night, video shows. An officer approached Hendon but he did a backflip and ran before police stopped him by using the Taser.

Hendon “did knowingly run onto the Reds playing field during the game without permission to do so,” an officer wrote in one of his criminal complaints.

Another court document says Hendon purposely impeded a public official’s lawful duties and “did with purpose to delay his arrest run from police.”

"You're a star, Mr. Hendon, you got your 15 minutes of fame," Mallory said.

Cincinnati police Lt. Jonathan Cunningham said the department will investigate the officer's use of a Taser to subdue Hendon.

"The officers' quick response allowed the game to continue uninterrupted for the players and fans in attendance," Cunningham said in a statement.

Hendon was booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center at 10:51 p.m. and was held overnight without bond, according to the jail docket.

Mallory allowed Hendon to remain out of jail on his own recognizance, though Hendon is currently banned from Great American Ball Park. He is due back in court for a pretrial hearing on July 3.

I mean this guy got so much cred the Judge even made sure to give him props for his backflip. 

Get tased as a college kid is so damn cool when the repercussions aren't that bad. This dude is banned from The Great American Ball Park, something that will easily go away once he can grow facial hair, his bros think it's sick, and as a sophomore at OSU, he may get lucky. Sick backflip into getting tased the whole internet could see. It was ballsy but the dude pulled it off pretty well. The judge even thought it was sick. He even got to spend the night in Jail so now he has a jail story to tell. This has to be the most exciting thing to happen at a Reds game in a while.
