Fans who invaded Coors Field seeking selfies with Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. charged with trespassing, disturbing peace

Two fans who charged onto Coors Field seeking photos with Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr., leading to Acuna falling to the ground, have been charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace, Denver Police officials said on Tuesday.

Both men — Jefferson Gonzales-Merida, 23, and Carlos Rivelo Paiz, 21 — were arrested and jailed following the incident Monday night as the Braves played the Rockies. Nobody was injured and the men, from Denver, have been released pending appearances in court next month, according to police documents. Trespassing and disturbing the peace typically are treated as petty offenses but carry fines.
