Overview

  • Delbert Carver, 23, was arrested by College Park police on charges of disorderly conduct, public indecency and criminal trespass for throwing a neon green sex toy onto the court during the July 29 Atlanta Dream–Golden State Valkyries game.
  • Carver was released on an undisclosed bond late Sunday and his case status is listed as pending on the Clayton County court website.
  • The WNBA’s Fan Code of Conduct mandates immediate ejection, a minimum one-year ban and potential prosecution for any fan who intentionally throws objects onto the court.
  • A second sex toy was hurled during the August 1 Valkyries–Chicago Sky game, but Chicago Police say they have no record of an arrest or incident report for that event.
  • Players and league officials warn that repeat disruptions expose persistent security gaps and underscore the need for enhanced arena enforcement.
