West Shore RCMP are recommending a charge of assault after a local football fan allegedly threw coffee in the face of an opposing team's player.
And police say the whole thing was motivated by a bet between friends.
The mounties responded to Westhills Stadium at around nine o'clock on Saturday night while the West Shore Rebels were hosting a junior football game against their rival, the Vancouver Island Raiders.
Upon arrival, police arrested a 22-year old Colwood man who had already been escorted outside by security. Police say the man was intoxicated, and the act was apparently motivated by a bet with one of his friends.
The Colwood man has been released from custody, and is due back in court on December 29.
