It’s a swing and a miss for the Phillies fan that unleashed a “vomit assault” on a local police officer and his 11 year-old daughter in the stands of a Phillies baseball game this past April. The judge in the case sentenced 21-year old Matthew Clemmens to 30 to 90 days of jail, 50 hours of community service, and 2 years probation.
Clemmens was charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct, and harassment for intentionally making himself vomit on Michael Vangelo and his daughter. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Clemmens was displeased when a member of his party was ejected from the game and stated, “I need to do what I need to do. I am going to get sick,” right before putting his fingers down his throat to induce vomiting.
In sentencing Matthew Clemens to a variety of punishments, (jail, community, service, and probation) the judge is probably hoping that it will serve as a continual reminder of the repercussions of his socially unacceptable behavior. And in a twist of irony, the judge recommended that the Phillies fan’s community service should be served cleaning bathrooms … at the ballpark.
