Title: Man accused of posing as a dodger Post by: simeon on September 27, 2008, 12:39:56 pm I thought this was a little funny, but the security guard was on the ball.

Ronald Higgins pleaded not guilty to several charges Friday, including burglary and trespassing. The 47-year-old Higgins was arrested Wednesday morning after a security guard found him walking on the field in a Dodgers uniform and holding a glove with two balls. Higgins allegedly identified himself as a Dodgers player, but the guard recognized him from an earlier incident and called police. Prosecutors say Higgins' clothes were later found in the bat boys' locker room. It was not immediately clear where he got the uniform. If convicted, Higgins could spend nearly four years in state prison. Attempts to locate an attorney for Higgins were not successful Friday night.

Did you see the line about the guard recognizing him from a "previous incident"? Apparently this guy is a whack job and has done things like this in the past. This reminds me of the guy in Jersey who was pretended to be Joba Chamberlin because he looked like him. He was going clubbing and banging girls left and right who thought he was a MLB player. Whats funny about the story is that Joba is a bit of a religious guy and never goes out to clubs, etc. Title: Re: Man accused of posing as a dodger Post by: EDGECRUSHER on September 27, 2008, 02:33:53 pm The man allegedly ate a 3 foot sandwich and struck out 4 times, so they thought he was Andruw Jones.
