Man Drove Through Lambeau Field To Run Down Victim: Police

GREEN BAY, WI — Police in Green Bay say a disgruntled food service employee was responsible for the incident that happened Friday afternoon at Lambeau Field.

According to Green Bay police chief Andrew Smith, a 20-year-old man who was a food service employee who worked at Lambeau, became involved in a fight with a co-worker on Dec. 3, and was later fired in connection with that incident.

Smith said that the employee came to the police department just before 1 p.m. Friday to file a police report. When he left the Green Bay police department, he headed to Lambeau Field presumably to fight the same employee he had a fight with on Dec. 3.

Smith continued, saying that the 20-year-old suspect found the apparent victim in the parking lot. He rammed the victim's car in the parking lot and damaged a total of five cars.

According to Green Bay police, the suspect chased the victim down the Lambeau Field loading dock ramp in his car. He managed to bypass a security gate and managed to chase him into Lambeau Field itself before crashing his Trans-Am into a storage area inside. He did not make it to the playing field itself, Smith said.

Smith said the suspect was walking away from his Trans-Am when police took him into custody without further incident.

Friday 1:06 p.m.

Police, fire and a hazmat team responded to Lambeau Field in Green Bay on Friday afternoon, just as hundreds of volunteers were welcomed into the stadium to clear snow in advance of Saturday's home game against the Minnesota Vikings.
