Maryland authorities plan to prosecute a man for allegedly urinating on the grave of former Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell.

The man, who has been identified only as a Cleveland Browns fan, will be charged with disorderly conduct in a cemetery.

He posted a video of the incident to YouTube this month where he relieved himself on the gravestone while wearing his Browns jersey.

Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger said the man will not be identified until charges are filed and served.

He could face up to two years in jail and a $500 fine.

Art Modell died in 2012 at the age of 87. He spent 43 years as an NFL owner, overseeing the Browns from 1961 until he moved the team to Baltimore in 1996 to become the Ravens.

The guy is an idiot.

Yes...strong the force is in this one.....

But the hatred of Art Modell runs deep in Cleveland; don't be surprised if there's a bunch of donations to pay his fine....

Indeed. Browns fans put the "fan" in fanatic. I lived in northeast Ohio for a time. But yikes, this is desecration of a grave. Life is larger than football. Isn't it?

I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio (Ashtabula Harbor) so I have first hand experience with Browns fanatics.  My Paternal Grandpappy was one of 'em, and I thank God he didn't live to see Art take the franchise and depart for Baltimore.  He would have been insufferable until it finally killed him....
