Overview

  • Police released images of a man in a Beavis and Butt-Head T-shirt and Ohio State cap sought for throwing a neon-green device that hit a 12-year-old at Barclays Center.
  • Law enforcement has arrested a 23-year-old in Georgia and an 18-year-old in Phoenix on charges ranging from disorderly conduct to assault in related WNBA incidents.
  • The league has warned of immediate ejection and minimum one-year bans for anyone throwing objects onto courts and is urging arenas to review their security protocols.
  • Investigations link the stunt campaign to Green Dildo Coin, a recently launched meme cryptocurrency, and online betting markets offering wagers on future toy tosses.
  • Security experts caution that nonmetal sex toys evade standard metal detectors, prompting venues to weigh more invasive screening against fan entry efficiency.
