Texas A&M’s cross country runner, 19, arrested after streaking during Aggies’ baseball game
A member of Texas A&M’s cross country team was arrested this week and later suspended by the university for streaking during the Aggies’ baseball game against the Texas Longhorns, according to jail records.
Spencer Werner, 19, was arrested by university police on Tuesday and charged with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct/exposure after he ran onto the field at Blue Bell Park wearing compression shorts, gloves and a mask of “Star Wars” character Darth Maul, according to Brazos County jail records.
Video of the incident, which took place during the fifth inning, also showed Werner running with a sign that read “Longhorns suck” and appeared to have “Trump 2024” painted on his chest.
