Man Charged For Getting on Stage at Taylor Swift Concert

Security at a stadium Taylor Swift was performing at had to get a hold of a man who was charging the stage. The man is Christian Ewing who is 26 years old. Ewing was charged with entering without a ticket, and a felony and a misdemeanor battery, and obstruction. One source said that a security guard had his rib broken during the incident. Ewing's bail is set at $35,000.


Comments from Allen:

The crush on Taylor Swift earned Mr. Ewing a misdemeanor battery.  The crush on the security guard, resulting in a broken rib, earned Mr. Ewing a felony.

With all the security at a concert like this, how did he even get in without a ticket?

My guess on the obstruction charge is that Mr. Ewing gave a fake name when arrested; that will earn anyone a charge of resisting or obstructing an officer.

When you are arrested, you don't have to confess to a crime, but you do have to give your real name.  Additionally, any information you volunteer to the police must be true.  If you give any false information to a police officer in the course of his evaluation of a crime, you will be charged with resisting or obstructing an officer.

I would expect the defendant in this case to get some local jail time, a mental evaluation, a fine and misdemeanor probation.  I would be surprised if he gets convicted of a felony in a final plea agreement.
