Peoria Civic Center Releases Statement on Fan Incident With Scarlett at WWE Live Event

– As previously reported, a fan was ejected from a recent WWE live event in Peoria, Illinois after throwing a drink at Scarlett, who was ringside for a match featuring Karrion Kross vs. Drew McIntyre. Central Illinois Proud has a report on the incident, along with a statement from the Peoria Civic Center.

The fan and what appeared to be members of their family were quickly escorted out of the arena by security and police following the incident. The Peoria Civic Center’s Director of Sales and Marketing, Beau Sutherland, issued the following statement:

“We are aware of the incident that took place at the WWE event on Saturday, November 12. Fortunately, our Peoria Civic Center security team along with the Peoria Police quickly identified the individuals responsible and escorted them out of the building for the remainder of the show. While we were disappointed in the actions of a couple and the brief distraction they caused, over 4,000 enthusiastic WWE fans were treated to a very entertaining event.”

Scarlett later tweeted on what happened, “As a classy woman from Chicago, I’m not surprised that something like this would happen in Peoria. PS. To the granny who threw the drink, your booze was as cheap as your hairdo.”
