Philadelphia - A 21-year-old New Jersey man has been sentenced to up to three months in jail for intentionally vomiting on another spectator and his 11-year-old daughter in the stands at a Philadelphia Phillies major league baseball game.
Matthew Clemmens, of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, pleaded guilty in May to charges of assault, harassment and disorderly conduct.
A Family Court judge on Friday sentenced him to one to three months in jail, two years of probation and 50 hours of community service.
The maximum penalty was two years in jail.
Clemmens admitted he stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited on Michael Vangelo, an off-duty Easton police captain, and Vangelo's daughter after they began arguing at a Phillies-Washington Nationals game on April 14 at Citizens Bank Park.
