The prankster spent two days in jail before pleading no contest to battery and unlawful activity at a sporting or entertainment event and was sentenced to three years of probation and a year’s worth of psychiatric counseling.

Despite that, Sediuk previously insisted to the Associated Press: “I’m a normal guy. I’m not crazy … I’m doing this for fun.”

He also said he hopes his antics lead event organizers to reconsider their security procedures, as well as stars to be more cautious when talking to fans.

“Don’t get offended at me. Don’t get mad at me. And just to be thankful that I show it’s easy to get access to you and maybe you have to tighten security,” Sediuk said. “Obviously, I don’t want to say, ‘Don’t talk to fans.’ But [be] cautious.”
