Cubs Fan Earns FAIL Of The Weekend

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Sep 8, 2008 4:50PM

Cubs fan Rafael Rosario, 26, learned the hard way this weekend that you can't pretend to be a Federal agent. It all started when Rosario was denied beer by a vendor at Cinicinnati's Great American Ballpark during Saturday's Cubs-Reds game. When the visibly drunk Rosario kept pestering the vendor, Cincinnati Police officers were called over. And that's when Rosario played the Ron Burgundy "I'm kind of a big deal" card.

When Cincinnati Police asked to see Rosario’s I.D., he tensed up and claimed he was a federal agent and the officer had no right to see his I.D. Records show Rosario is employed by the Transportation Safety Administration at O’Hare Airport in Chicago. Police say he gave them an Illinois state drivers license, not a federal I.D.
Rosario is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on charges of disorderly conduct while intoxicated.
