The identity of a man arrested for throwing a dildo from the stands of a WNBA game, allegedly striking another in the back, has been revealed.
According to FOX 10 in Phoenix, cops say Kaden Lopez was arrested after he allegedly brought a green dildo into the August 5 contest between the Phoenix Mercury and Connecticut Sun in Phoenix.
The report states Lopez was observed on video removing the sex toy from the front pocket of his hoodie and chucking it toward the court. The only problem, it didn't make it onto the hardwood, instead allegedly striking a man in the back who was attending the game with his 9-year-old niece.
After tossing the dildo, police say Lopez attempted to leave the arena, but not before staff jumped into action—tackling him and waiting for law enforcement.
Cops say Lopez allegedly claimed it was a, "stupid prank that was trending on social media." The report states he had purchased the sex toy a few days before the game.
Lopez was reportedly arrested and booked on suspicion of disorderly conduct, assault and public display of explicit sexual material.
FOX 10 also reports both the WNBA and PHX arena want him prosecuted for disorderly conduct.
Lopez isn't the only one to face arrest for throwing sex toys in WNBA arenas, as another fan was arrested for tossing a dildo during the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries game.
The WNBA has had a pesky problem surrounding sex toys over the last few weeks, with several making their way onto the court. Both players and the league have made their frustrations known about the issue.
Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham tweeted about the problem, "stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us." Just a few days later she fell victim to the sick prank when a sex toy was thrown her way in the middle of a game.
