This guy’s name is Sean Hagan and he actually had a legendary night:

That moment when you can’t get down from the pole you climbed.

Supposedly during his time up on that traffic light he caught AND shotgunned seven beers while being surrounded by police waiting for him to come down. Talk about big time players making big time plays:

This guy has been atop the light pole at Broad and Sansom for at least 20 minutes and has caught and shotgunned at least seven beers. Cops are waiting for him below. Crowd is egging him on. pic.twitter.com/lfBaedWNEj

Guess what line of work he’s in?

What is a union carpenter?

Ding. Ding. Ding.

He did end up getting arrested and then released. Then Wednesday there was an affidavit for his arrest and he turned himself in according to Stephanie Farr at the Inky:

Hagan said he turned himself in and spent Wednesday night in a holding cell at police headquarters. A judge threatened to keep him incarcerated through the World Series, he said, but he was released Thursday afternoon. A 6ABC reporter and camera crew were waiting for him outside.

The judge kind of sounds like a dick if you ask me. And the charges are wild according to his Instagram story:

Damn three felonies for climbing a pole and chugging some beers? Didn’t look like a riot to me. Just looked like a couple hundred people celebrating the Phils going to the World Series for the first time in 13 years.

I’ll admit I made fun of this guy for needing a ladder, but after seeing how high up he was and shotgunning seven beers I’d need a cherry picker and a Xanax to get down. Heights and I don’t see eye to eye:

P.S. This isn’t the first time he’s gone to jail in the name of the Phillies. He was the guy who ran on the field in the Red Man costume 12 years ago:

Dude was snatching more ankles than Reggie Bush at USC! If it wasn’t for Matt Diaz sticking his nose where it didn’t belong Red Man might still be running.
