PHILADELPHIA (AP) What Philadelphia Phillies fan Matthews Clemmens did was enough to make himself sick - and us, too, for that matter - but at least now he admits it.

The 21-year-old Cherry Hill, N.J. man has pleaded guilty to intentionally vomiting on a man -- a police officer -- and his 11-year-old daughter, in the stands at the Phillies-Nationals game April 14.

Clemmens pleaded guilty to simple assault and other charges Tuesday, May 25.

Police say the nauseating fan stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited on Easton, Pa. police Captain Michael Vangelo and his daughter, after Clemmens' companion was ejected from the park.

Sentencing is set for July 30.  Assistant District Attorney Patrick Doyle says guidelines call for Clemmens to get probation. He says Capt. Vangelo's family is satisfied with the plea.

Crimesider is offering to buy "vomit man" a satellite dish to discourage him from going to any more games.

What a sterling citizen. For starters, ban him from all Philadelphia sporting events. For another, if you're not going to do that, make him go muzzled.

So he pleads guity, yet does not apologiz? This guy is the worst kind of slime. He should have been beaten worse. Anyone who acts like this has no hope for leading a productive life. He should be castrated and prevented from reproducing and be forced to have vomit dripped on him for all eternity. What a total POS this guy is. A waste of oxygen. Give him jail time, it was premeditated.
