Man charged with giving alcohol to 20-year-old who fell 2 stories at Pirates game

A 21-year-old friend of the 20-year-old man who fell 20 feet from the stands during a Pittsburgh Pirates home game last month was charged Tuesday with giving him alcohol.

A 21-year-old friend of the 20-year-old man who fell 20 feet from the stands during a Pittsburgh Pirates home game last month was charged Tuesday with giving him alcohol.

Ethan Kirkwood, of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, was charged with two counts of furnishing alcohol to someone under 21. He is accused of buying beer for Kavan Markwood before Markwood plunged from the stands, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.

The complaint, written by Officer Timothy Zundel of the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, says Kirkwood admitted he bought beer for Markwood, who is a birthday shy of being the legal age to consume alcohol.

The document does not allege alcohol consumption caused Markwood’s fall. Kirkwood did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Kirkwood, the complaint says, is seen on video buying three rounds of beer, each time holding two 24-ounce cans. The high school acquaintances were at the game with two women, one of whom is Markwood's girlfriend, the complaint says.
