Toronto fan accused of can toss no longer employed

-

The man suspected of throwing a beer can at Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim during a playoff game in Toronto is no longer employed at the media company for which he worked. Ken Pagan was charged with mischief for allegedly throwing the can in the seventh inning of the American League wild-card game. A Postmedia spokeswoma­n said Monday that Pagan, a 41-year-old copy editor, had left the news organizati­on. Georgia Sourtzis wouldn’t elaborate on the circumstan­ces of Pagan’s departure, but the company had said earlier that it was conducting an internal investigat­ion following the beer-tossing incident. Toronto police detective Pat Alberga has said security camera footage inside the stadium helped identify the suspect. A police photo was widely distribute­d on social media earlier this month. Pagan later turned himself in to police. MORE BASEBALL: The Mid Atlantic Baseball Scouts Associatio­n will hold its 26th annual banquet Nov. 12 at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen.
