Charges were filed against a man who allegedly provided alcohol to an underage Pittsburgh Pirates fan who sustained serious injuries in a fall last month at PNC Park.
Kavan Markwood, 20, tumbled over the railing in right field during an April 30 game against the Chicago Cubs, plummeting 21 feet onto the warning track.
Ethan Kirkwood, 21, was charged Tuesday with two counts of furnishing alcohol to a minor “originating from an incident in which an underage male fell off the outfield wall at PNC Park,” according to a Pennsylvania State Police public information release.
Kirkwood has a preliminary hearing scheduled for June 23, according to CNN Sports. The misdemeanor charge carries a fine of up to $1,000 for the first violation.
Hospitalized in critical condition with injuries to his back and neck after the incident, Markwood told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review in an interview on May 8 that he had “broken everything.”
