CLEVELAND, Ohio -- An East Cleveland man is accused of grinding on an unassuming woman at Progressive Field while the two watched the live postgame show broadcast from the stadium, according to police.
Wayne Harris, 47, is charged with sexual imposition. He was released from the city jail Tuesday on a personal bond.
The incident happened about 4:20 p.m. Sunday after the Indians' 3-2 win over the Royals.
A 37-year-old Elyria woman told police that she walked behind the desk where Sports Time Ohio broadcasts the post-game show live, according to police reports.
Harris stood behind her and inched his way up until he was directly behind her, according to police reports.
Harris then rubbed his groin on her backside, police reports say.
A friend standing next to the 37-year-old woman yelled at Harris, who walked away, police reports say.
A man tracked down a police officer working security at the game. The officer found Harris and arrested him, police reports say.
