A Philadelphia Eagles football fan was charged with trespassing after he ran onto the field during Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers and spread his dead mother's ashes around.

The fan, Christopher Noreboom, 44, said his mother was a diehard Eagles fan but didn't have a chance to go to an Eagles game before she died, police said.

Players from both teams looked on as Noreboom ran up the middle of the field, waving a plastic bag in the air as the ashes flew out.

He eventually dropped to his knees, genuflected, and was then arrested near the 30-yard line.

It was unclear whether the man was a season ticket holder or if the Eagles organization would take any action against him.
