## Elayne Boosler’s Dodger Stadium Arrest: A Bag Full of Trouble
Comedian Elayne Boosler found herself in hot water on Sunday after being arrested at Dodger Stadium for refusing to leave over a handbag that violated the stadium’s bag policy.
Boosler, 71, was entering the stadium for the Dodgers matchup against the New York Mets when she was stopped by security because her new baseball-shaped handbag was not see-through. She was told that she would have to throw it away or walk it back to her car.
However, Boosler refused to leave, arguing that she had paid a significant amount for parking and tickets and that there was nothing on her ticket indicating the clear bag policy. She also pointed out her close ties to the Dodgers over the years, having sung the anthem and appeared in the booth on numerous occasions.
Despite her pleas, security remained firm in their decision, and Boosler claims that the situation escalated when one particular security officer threatened to have her arrested for trespassing. Boosler said she agreed to be arrested and was handcuffed and placed in the back of a squad car.
The team decided to press charges, and Boosler was taken to the Dodger Stadium office, where she couldn’t resist cracking a joke about having to sign off on the cash in her purse.
The Dodgers declined to comment on the incident, but Boosler’s video of the arrest has garnered over 15,000 views on YouTube. While some people have criticized Boosler for expecting special treatment, others have expressed sympathy for her situation.
The incident highlights the strict bag policies that are now in place at many stadiums across the country. Fans are advised to familiarize themselves with these policies before attending games to avoid any potential issues.
