A raucous fan at the SEC Women's Basketball Championship Sunday has been charged with assault.

The fan, identified as 24 year old Trayron Milton of Georgia, was sitting in the stands at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena when he decided to leap over the barrier. Milton is the brother of an LSU player and tried to involve himself in the on-floor scuffle between LSU and South Carolina players, late in the game.

He then used a female employee sitting at the scorer's table as a launching pad to get over the table. According to police, Milton "pushed down on the victim’s head, and stepped on her shoulders to jump over" injuring the employee.

Greenville Police charged Milton with third degree assault and battery and disorderly conduct.

Two other spectators tried to advance the court, but were stopped by Officials  and escorted out of The Well.
