'This was an Astros fan trying to toss drinks from his cooler to the Senator during a championship parade and not realizing how it would be perceived until he saw security's reaction,' Joseph Arcidiacono's attorney said in part of a statement.
Joseph Arcidiacono was charged with aggravated assault.
"Political violence is never acceptable. What happened at the parade was not political violence nor 'aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.’ Instead, this was an Astros fan trying to toss drinks from his cooler to the Senator during a championship parade and not realizing how it would be perceived until he saw security's reaction.
Many generous, fun, semi-stupid, legendary moments have happened during Astros Championship Parades. Hopefully, many more of those moments will happen in the years to come.
