Unfortunately these are the types of risks that you take when you enter into another team’s stadium wearing your favorite teams jersey. No, it shouldn’t ever be this way, but with drunk and unruly fans, all bets are off. A fight broke out during the Browns-Redskins game, security guards broke out the tasers and three of Fletcher’s family members ended up getting handcuffed while his Aunt went to the hospital because she had a heart attack.
Here is what NewsNet5 reported:
Two of Fletcher’s cousins, Hasaan Robinson and Douglas Robinson, were arrested by Tenable Security officers, along with an 18-year-old nephew of the Redskins linebacker according to the family. NewsChannel 5 has reached out to the Cleveland Police Department and Tenable Security and neither has yet to release any names or reports.
Nita Ashford, a Cleveland school teacher and a relative of Fletcher, told NewsChannel5 that her family was attacked by angry Browns fans as the family left Sunday’s game. During the attack, Fletcher’s aunt, 57-year-old-Evette Robinson, suffered a heart attack and was rushed to MetroHealth Medical Center, where her condition at this time is still unknown.
Thankfully this whole situation got sorted out, but it’s really too bad that Fletcher’s homecoming to Cleveland had to be spoiled by this incident.
