CINCINNATI, OH – Two men were arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly trespassing at Paycor Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals, with one of the suspects attempting to steal a barbecue smoker.
According to Cincinnati police, Kaleb Truong, 19, of Mason, and Alex Winegeart, 18, of Norwood, jumped a locked fence around 2:30 a.m. on August 24. The stadium’s security team alerted authorities, who quickly set up a perimeter to locate the suspects.
About an hour later, officers encountered Truong attempting to exit the stadium. He fled back inside, prompting police to deploy a K-9 unit. Truong was arrested shortly after without further incident.
Surveillance footage reportedly shows Truong inside the stadium attempting to steal a barbecue smoker. While court documents confirm Winegeart was also arrested, they do not detail his specific involvement in the incident.
Both men have been charged with felony breaking and entering and are currently held at the Hamilton County Justice Center. Their arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. on August 25 in Hamilton County Municipal Court.
