"[The Police] spoke to him, they fed him and someone was there making jokes with him. They just thought he needed a kick in the bum and that’s all he really needed,"

He's facing charges because the management of the venue wanted to place charges, but I expect he'll end up with something like community service and nothing that will ruin his future job prospects.
