All charges filed against a Nashville Predators fan who tossed a dead catfish onto the ice in Pittsburgh during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final will be dropped, Allegheny County district attorney Stephen Zappala announced Wednesday.
"Having reviewed the affidavit involving Mr. (Jacob) Waddell as well as the television coverage of the incident, District Attorney Zappala has made the determination that the actions of Mr. Waddell do not rise to the level of criminal charges," spokesman Mike Manko said in a statement Wednesday, per the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
"As such, the three charges filed against Mr. Waddell will be withdrawn in a timely manner."
Waddell was charged with disorderly conduct, possessing an instrument of a crime, and disrupting a meeting after devising and executing an elaborate plan to sneak the fish into Game 1.
At the end of the day, however, the Pittsburgh-area judicial system appears to have bigger fish to fry.
