North Carolina Man Arrested in Connection With Alleged Urination at Morgan Wallen Concert

A warrant issued after MDTA detectives reviewed new witness accounts has led to the suspect's arrest, detention in North Carolina pending extradition to Maryland.

Overview

  • Police say 33-year-old Jayson Reed was arrested in Wilson County, North Carolina, on Wednesday and faces four counts of second-degree assault, a public urination charge, and other related offenses.
  • The alleged incident took place at M&T Bank Stadium on July 18 when a concertgoer reported a man urinated on his family, which included an eight-year-old child.
  • On the night of the show stadium security escorted an identified suspect out of the venue but MDTA officers did not make an on-the-spot arrest because they said no officer had witnessed the act.
  • MDTA detectives later identified additional witnesses and consulted the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office before obtaining an arrest warrant that led to Reed's arrest.
  • Reed is being held in North Carolina pending extradition to Maryland and the case may prompt further review of stadium policing and how on-scene investigations link to follow-up detective work.
