It was looming among the crowds outside when someone ran up and cut an eight-foot gash in the side, organizers said.
After his release, he posted a Facebook live video, saying as he stood in front of a TV with the game playing: “Some liberals tried to come to my hometown and start some trouble. That ain’t happening. I did get arrested. I got charged. That’s all right. I’d do it again given the opportunity.”
According to the Tuscaloosa, police read “Officers observed Hoyt Deau Hutchinson, age 32 of Tuscaloosa, AL, cut into the “Baby Trump” balloon, and then attempted (sic) to flee the area. Officers apprehended the suspect and took him into custody on a charge of Criminal Mischief First Degree. Hoyt was transported to Tuscaloosa County Jail where he was held on a $2,500 bond.”

“Some liberals tried to come to my home town and start some trouble. Well, that ain’t happening. I did get arrested, and I got charged. But that’s alright. I’d do it again if given the opportunity. But, I’m glad all y’all enjoyed that — better than this game right here. But I am going to need some help, so go to one of the GoFundMe pages. I’m gonna have to pay for the balloon. Just give what you can. If it gets over what it costs, I’m donating the rest to the Republican party. Y’all have a great day. Trump 2020.”
