The subject of a city-wide manhunt, the young man caught on tape tossing a beer from the Wrigley Field bleachers on to Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino turned himself in to Chicago police on Thursday. Johnny Macchione, a 21-year old college student from suburban Bartlett, turned himself in and spent a few hours being questioned by detectives before being booked at the Belmont Area police precinct. He was charged with two misdemeanors -- battery and illegal conduct in a sports facility. Macchione was released on bond on Thursday evening.
Upon his release, he said, "It was a big mistake. I’d like to apologize to Shane Victorino ...The Chicago Cubs — I’m sorry I disgraced you, the fans of the Cubs, myself, my family. And that’s all. The courts will handle itself.”” So while he shows some remorse for his actions, there's no word on whether he feels any remorse for the douchebag outfit. While Maccione could face up to 18 months in jail on the two counts he's charged with, we suspect that even with the Cubs and Victorino choosing to press charges, it's likely that Macchione will receive only a "slap on the wrist" from the justice system.

Great news! I can sleep much better knowing there is one less douchebag on the street. Now lets get the guy who shot the 15 year old girl in Roseland.
johnny macchione actually shot the girl in roseland on his way back to bartlett. her DNA was found on his white wristband.
From what I've seen of the news coverage on this fellow, "Tosser" is a completely accurate description.
Damn...you beat me to it!
"So while he shows some remorse for his actions, there's no word on whether he feels any remorse for the douchebag outfit."
Thanks a lot Benjy, now I have to clean my damn keyboard and monitor!
Ugh I am bored with this already. How the hell does this lead off the news last night? Mike Vick and the Eagles is my story du hour.
I think we're reaching peak douchebag. I've seen the term used more in connection with this incident than any in recent memory, for good reason. This guy so embodies the douchebag archetype that we may need to retire the word as a descriptor.
The kicker for me is that he was there thanks to a ticket from his buddy, the cousin of the guy who was first hauled out. In fact, it appears he fingered his friend's cousin as the culprit.
DOUCHBAG!
this kid is HORRIBLE......and the best part about that picture is his friend, in the blue headband looks shocked and appalled at what he just did
And his headband is one of those pseudo-Japanese script that is supposed to "honor" Kosuke Fukudome.
Is there no end to the douchiness of this group?
Actually my favorite part of this scene is Hurricanes-t-shirt guy and his bud, who seem oblivous to everything going on around them.
Oh, wait, I figured it out. They're the only two guys there ACTUALLY WATCHING THE GAME. They actually looking to home plate and watching the play unfold.
Wow, how'd they let those guys slip in there?
Is that Jon Gosselin behind him?
Good call...I love how this thing has turned into a zapruder film. look at the dude in the hurricanes shirt staring at the camera.
Okay fashionistas, can you please tell me what the cool guy outfit to wear to a baseball game is?
Sometimes I have committed the horrible, unforgiveable sin of putting on a pair of jeans with a t-shirt. And, if it's sunny out, my wife tells me to grab a cap to keep the sun out of my eyes.
Should I spend $279 on a Cubs jersey? Go online and order a Miami Hurricanes T-Shirt? Dress like Jon Gosselin after pimping his kids for millions? Seriously, if my clothing choices were insulted on here I don't think I could bear it.
As long as you avoid the Kanye glasses and 20° hat tilt, you should be ok.
Your best bet is to copy a stereotypical "look" from a magazine photo or an 80s movie poster. Then Maxwell can snap your photo and feature you here in "Whatcha Wearin".
Here are the reasons the guy is dressed like a douchebag. Wristbands...douche. Oversized chick sunglasses that dudes now wear...douche. white t-shirt that probably cost $50...douche. foam mesh cubs hat...douche. If you can imagine Ashton Kutcher wearing something you're about to put on, don't put it on. Can't you see Ashton Kutcher wearing all of those things? In fact I'm 90% sure I've seen Kutcher wearing this exact outfit. DOUCHE.
All I can think when I look at that photo is the headline "Cast of Entourage finally gets comeuppance"
The word Douchebag is more passe than this chap's outfit. In truth, neither have been en vogue since the premiere season of Entourage.
So what's the appropriate appellation for this chap?
"TOSSER" -- Look it up.
I know what "tosser" means. If you want to appropriate Brit slang for this dude, you could also try plonker, prat or my favorite, chav.
If he were a chav he'd be dressed in a tracksuit with something by Burberry in the mix.
I lack the Photoshop-fu necessary but the above tableau is screaming for Divinci's "Last Supper" treatment. Victorino as Jesus?
handjob?
Not only is he a tosser/douchebag for tossing the beer, he also fingered his buddy!
Loo - Zer!!
