Throwing of sex toys has unfortunately resulted in several games over the 2025 WNBA season.
It has since resulted in three arrests, with the most recent on Wednesday when New York police arrested Charles Burgess, 32, of Dayton, Ohio.

“The NYPD labeled a dildo as a dangerous weapon,” said the individual, who was granted anonymity to speak freely. “If they are trying to make a statement, we will be working with some of the top lawyers in the country to ensure that our people are treated fairly.”
Similar incidents have occurred inPhoenix, Chicago , and Los Angeles. Two men have been arrested in connection with incidents in Georgia and Phoenix, according to the outlet.
A cryptocurrency group has taken responsibility for some of the WNBA incidents as they promote a “green dildo coin” token.
