On Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the fan has been identified and banned for life from Arrowhead Stadium. Soon, the fan will also be facing criminal charges, Schefter reported.

According the ESPN, Kansas City Police were going to cite the fan with disorderly conduct. Members of the Chiefs organizations, however, didn't feel the charge was strong enough and have pushed for "the harshest penalty possible."
