This was reported by police sources. Carver, 23, faces charges of disorderly conduct, indecent exposure, and trespassing, according to police records. Records show he was booked into the Clayton County Jail at 7:42 p.m. He was released Sunday night on an undisclosed bond. The next court date for Carver has not yet been set, and the Clayton County judicial system website indicates that the case status is “pending”.

A second object was thrown onto the court on Friday during the third quarter of the Valkyries’ game against the Chicago Sky. When asked if an arrest had been made or if an incident report had been filed at the Sky-Valkyries game, Chicago police responded via email on Monday that “we do not see a service call for that incident.”
