The man who became the center of a viral controversy at a Morgan Wallen concert this past July has been arrested. Jayson Reed, 33, was taken into custody in North Carolina and is facing four counts of second-degree assault and public urination. The charges stem from an incident at the Baltimore show where Reed allegedly urinated on a family, which included an eight-year-old girl, after becoming belligerent and intoxicated.

What made this story spread so quickly was the response from police at the scene. Initial officers said they could not arrest Reed because they hadn’t personally witnessed the act, even as video of the confrontation began circulating online. The victim’s report described Reed as belligerent, and the family was forced to leave the concert entirely to escape the situation. That video clip triggered huge backlash, putting pressure on law enforcement to revisit the case.

The Maryland Transportation Authority Police announced that after a thorough follow-up investigation, they identified new witnesses who were not available that night. They consulted with the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office and officially filed charges. Reed is currently being held in North Carolina while he awaits extradition back to Maryland. Each second-degree assault count carries a potential maximum sentence of ten years. Do you think the delayed arrest was a failure of the initial response, or did the police get it right in the end?
