Core Event: Arrest of Jayson Reed
On July 18, 2026, Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) police responded to a report of a fight at M&T Bank Stadium during Morgan Wallen’s “Still the Problem” concert. After security personnel identified the individuals involved, officers escorted a 33-year-old North Carolina man, Jayson Reed, from the venue. Following a subsequent investigation, MDTA detectives obtained an arrest warrant. Reed was taken into custody by the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina and is being held pending extradition to Maryland. He faces four counts of second-degree assault, public urination and additional related offenses, each count carrying a maximum sentence of ten years in Maryland.
