En 41-årig halftimekunstner ved Super Bowl LIX er blevet fundet skyldig i at modstå en politibetjent. Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu blev arresteret på stedet, efter at han under showet rullede et flag ud med budskabet "Sudan og Free Gaza".
Ifølge Associated Press fastslog Chefdommer Juana Marine-Lombard, at Nantambu var skyldig i forseelsen. Han var også tiltalt for at forstyrre den offentlige orden ved at afbryde en lovlig forsamling.
"Vi værdsætter chefdommerens omhyggelige gennemgang af beviserne og beslutningen om at holde denne person ansvarlig for at modstå politibetjente, som hver dag arbejder for at beskytte vores samfund," udtalte Louisianas justitsminister Liz Murrill i en pressemeddelelse.
Efter at have vist flaget begyndte Nantambu at løbe og nægtede at adlyde en ordre om at stoppe. Han skal straffes den 1. juni og risikerer en bøde på op til 500 amerikanske dollar (ca. 3.500 kroner) samt op til seks måneders fængsel. Derudover har NFL udelukket ham på livstid fra alle ligaens begivenheder.
Nantambu er desuden sigtet som offer i en skudepisode i maj 2025, hvor den tidligere NFL-modtager Antonio Brown er mistænkt for at have affyret våben. Brown hævder, at han handlede i nødværge.
