SALT LAKE CITY — A man has been arrested in connection to a BYU cheerleading coach being injured by a thrown bottle at the end of last weekend's football game at the University of Utah.
William Gardner, 18, faces one charge of assault, a Class A misdemeanor, for allegedly throwing the bottle that hit Jocelyn Allan as she stood on the sidelines of Rice-Eccles Stadium.
The University of Utah's Department of Public Safety said Gardner is not a student at the school.
In a video of the incident taken by Jessica Hellewell, the cheerleaders are seen in the corner of the stadium when a bottle comes into frame and hits Allan in the head, causing her to reportedly lose consciousness.

According to the arrest documents, Gardner was at the game in a suite with his family. The following day, Gardner's own father alerted University of Utah Police that his son was the person who had thrown the bottle.
BYU defeated Utah with a last-second field goal in a revival of the "Holy War" rivalry between the two schools.
