Police: NJ man purposely vomited on Phillies fans

A New Jersey man is facing charges after police say he intentionally vomited on an 11-year-old girl and her father in the stands during a Phillies game.

Twenty-one-year-old Matthew Clemmens, of Cherry Hill, N.J., was arraigned Friday on charges stemming from his behavior at Wednesday night's Phillies-Nationals game.

Police say Clemmens made himself vomit on an off-duty police captain and his daughter after a companion was kicked out for unruly behavior.

Easton police Capt. Michael Vangelo says he saw Clemmens put his fingers down his throat. Philadelphia police say Clemmens also punched Vangelo and vomited on an arresting officer.

Clemmens is in custody on charges including assault and harassment. Bail is $12,000. His listed phone number is disconnected.

Just what I wanted to hear in the morning on an empty stomach.

Actually, this kind of behavior is why I don't go to baseball games anymore (not that I was a huge fan, but I like to go with my husband and/or son every once in a while). Everyone is piss drunk and the behavior is so vile, it is really no fun. This applies to Wrigley Field. I went to an Anaheim Angels game a few years ago, and it was like Disney World--little blonde girls hugging their ralley monkeys, etc. It's really offensive here in Chicago, though -- smelly, belligerent drunks and foul language. I hear White Sox games are a little more family friendly.
