A North Carolina man who was accused of urinating on a family, including an 8-year-old girl, at a Morgan Wallen concert in Baltimore last month has been extradited to Maryland, online court records show.

Jayson Reed is being held without bail after a court appearance Tuesday morning, according to online court records. He faces four counts of second-degree assault; four counts of indecent exposure; and one count each for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and urinating in public, according to charging documents.

Reed, 33, was arrested by deputies in Wilson County, North Carolina, following an investigation by the Maryland Transportation Authority Police, the agency said in a news release last week.

The charges stem from a July 18 incident in which Reed allegedly pulled down his pants at his seat and urinated on four members of a family seated in front of him, leading to an altercation with two family members. The girl’s uncle, Troy Grevelding, later used Facebook to live-stream his unsuccessful efforts to get law enforcement officers to arrest the man. His video later went viral.

Officers escorted Reed out of M&T Bank Stadium, confirmed his identity through his Virginia driver’s license and released him, according to court documents.

Clinton Kelly, a spokesperson for the MDTA police, said officers could not arrest Reed without a warrant for offenses that occurred outside of their presence. Charging documents show MDTA Police, which was assisting Baltimore Police during the event, opened an assault investigation shortly after Grevelding complained.

β€œOfficers initially encountered a chaotic scene and obtained limited information. The victim was then referred to the Court Commissioner’s Office but as officers learned that the suspect had allegedly committed multiple misdemeanor offenses outside of the officers’ presence an investigation was opened that night,” Kelly said in an email.

The second-degree assault charges apparently stemmed from the alleged urination on the family members. The charge carries a penalty of up to 10 years of incarceration or a $2,500 fine.

Reed had no attorney listed in Maryland court records, and a lawyer who was representing him in North Carolina did not respond to a request for comment.

In an interview last month, Grevelding said he and his wife Andi had traveled to Baltimore from upstate New York to attend the concert with his brother, Timothy Grevelding, and his 11- and 8-year-old nieces.

Police spoke with the adult Grevelding family members on the night of the concert, according to charging documents. Court records show police contacted both men and Andi Grevelding for witness statements the following day.

On July 21, police said, they made contact with another woman who was seated in the same section as the Greveldings and Reed and said she had witnessed the incident. Troy Grevelding had shared the woman’s contact information with police after they connected via social media. All statements police shared tell a similar story:

Timothy Grevelding said he heard Reed, who was seated with a woman and a child, remark that the seats in section 140 were not his but that they would stay there until they were kicked out.

In court records, the Greveldings and the other witness described Reed as being β€œloud and obnoxious,” β€œextremely rowdy” and obviously intoxicated.

β€œIf the stadium would have been doing their job and putting people in their seats … this would have been somebody else’s problem, unfortunately,” Troy Grevelding previously told The Banner.

Troy Grevelding and Reed briefly argued over Reed’s behavior, court documents show, with Troy Grevelding telling Reed he’d need to go to his actual seats if he kept it up, which he said Reed β€œdid not like.”

β€œMr. Grevelding confronted the man, and he advised that Reed told him β€˜it’s all good,’” MDTA Police Detective W. Berry wrote in police charging documents. β€œMr. Grevelding then told the man to leave several times. He said that Reed became β€˜loud and physical’ and then made movements and gestures where Mr. Grevelding believed Reed wanted to punch him.”

Timothy Grevelding ordered food and brought back a beer for Reed, the family members told police, as a sort of peace offering. Later, the family and the other witness told police, Reed pulled down his pants and tried to urinate in a Miller Lite beer can. He missed the can, however, splashing urine on the Greveldings’ legs and on the other victim’s pink Lacoste bag and concessions.

The Greveldings told police they saw Reed’s exposed penis, but Timothy Grevelding said he pushed his daughter close to his wife so she wouldn’t see it. The brothers told police they then tried pushing Reed into the aisle so security could deal with him.

The woman seated near Reed said she didn’t see his exposed penis, but that it was obvious he was relieving himself.

The woman told police she removed her 10-year-old son, who was attending the concert with her and her husband, from the area and called for stadium security to remove Reed. A police corporal and security arrived and Reed was ejected from the stadium.

Troy Grevelding told The Banner last week that he was both excited and disappointed about Reed facing criminal charges, which he thought should have been more severe considering a minor was involved.

Court records show Reed is on probation in Virginia for a 2025 drug possession conviction. He has a lengthy criminal record in Virginia with convictions related to drugs, guns and credit card fraud, as well as traffic infractions.

He was arrested last week on a fugitive warrant in Eastern North Carolina, according to court records from that state. He waived his right to fight extradition to Maryland.

A booking photo provided by the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office shows a bearded Reed with a short haircut. He appears to be wearing an orange jail shirt, unbuttoned to reveal a tattoo on his neck.

The black ink reads β€œMama Tried,” an apparent reference to the late country singer Merle Haggard’s song of the same name. In the autobiographical tune, Haggard tells about running afoul of the law in his adolescence, breaking his hard-working mother’s heart. Haggard sings in the chorus, β€œI turned twenty-one in prison doin’ life without parole | No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried.”
