Ravens Fan John Callis
Punished For Attacking Commanders Fans
Published
The Ravens fan who was seen on video attacking Commanders backers following a game last year has just been punished for his actions.
John Callis appeared in a Baltimore courtroom on Monday afternoon and after pleading guilty to three assault charges, a judge hit him with a 10-year suspended jail sentence … as well as five years of supervised probation.
Additionally, following the pleas, the 24-year-old was ordered to pay just over $4,000 to one of his victims — and he’s got to fulfill several other requirements, too, including performing 100 hours of community service.
Callis’ attorney, Patrick Seidel, told reporters outside the courthouse the resolution was “fair” and “reasonable.”
“I think everybody’s looking forward to just moving on past this incident,” Seidel said.
The case, of course, stems from Callis’ behavior following the Ravens’ 30-23 victory over Washington on Oct. 13 at M&T Bank Stadium.
Callis was seen on camera beating up two guys who were in Commanders jerseys … before he flexed and yelled, “I don’t lose!”
A warrant for his arrest was issued a short time later.
“The behavior we saw in the video evidence in this case was abhorrent,” Baltimore City State’s Attorney Ivan Bates said in a statement Monday. “There is never a scenario in which violence is acceptable in our city. Today’s outcome clearly conveys that my office will not tolerate hate-filled acts.”
