Rod Beard reports in The News a 17-year-old fan who used a laser pointer to distract players during Sunday's Lions-Bills game has been identified and is banned indefinitely from all events at Ford Field, the team announced Thursday.
The Lions said the fan admitted using the laser pointer and has been charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct. The fan got the ticket from a season-ticket holder, whose tickets have been revoked for the remainder of the season.
The NFL investigated the allegations after Bills quarterback Kyle Orton and holder Colton Schmidt complained to officials during the game about separate incidents involving a laser pointer.
"You see a green light on any of the bills players just laugh cause it's me," was tweeted before the account was deactivated.
Attempts by The Detroit News to reach the family were unsuccessful.
MLive's Eric Lacy reports the father of the laser claims they've needed police assistance due to repeated harassment from other fans.
