Lewd Bama fan from BCS game found and arrested

((ht: ledger-enquirer.com))

The mystery of the Alabama fan who put his genitals in the face of a passed out LSU fan after the BCS Championship game has been solved. And yes, there was a YouTube video of this.

32-Year-old Brian Downing, who apparently lives in Smith Station, Alabama is facing charges of sexual battery and obscenity and was booked into a New Orleans jail on Thursday afternoon.

The arrest apparently came after Downing and his attorney showed up at the Russell County, Alabama sheriffs office so Downing could turn himself in. He apparently is the cousin of Russell County's sheriff.

It all appears to have gone down the night of January 9th after Alabama had shut down L.S.U in the B.C.S Championship game. Downing and the unnamed victim were at a Krystal restaurant on Bourbon Street. The LSU fan was apparently heavily intoxicated and wearing LSU gear when he was found and mocked by several 'Bama fans. Someone shot the entire thing on a cellphone camera...which was bad, until Downing allegedly dropped his drawers.

That's when things turned illegal.

Ok.

Really, there isn't a lot we can add here. This seems to be a case of drunken idiots being drunken idiots and doing idiotic things.

Plain and simple. There isn't much else to say about it. If Downing is indeed found guilty of this, he deserves everything he gets. It doesn't mean the LSU fan should have been so drunk he passed out, but he did and it still doesn't excuse what was done to him

This is just something the legal process will have to take care of. But it is still somewhat appalling.
