NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Super Bowl halftime show performer was charged Thursday with two misdemeanors, about 4 1/2 months after he ran across the field at the Superdome waving a flag that included the words “Sudan and Free Gaza,” Louisiana State Police said.
Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, 41, turned himself in to authorities to face of charges resisting a police officer and disturbing the peace by interrupting a lawful assembly, police said. He surrendered in coordination with his attorney and was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center.
Nantambu revealed the flag and ran on the field during rapper Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance on Feb. 9. He was detained on the field after his demonstration but not charged. The NFL said at the time he would be banned for life from league stadiums and events.
According to a statement from police, Nantambu had been hired as an extra performer and “had permission to be on the field during the performance, but did not have permission to demonstrate as he did.”
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy thanked investigators for their work.
“We take any attempt to disrupt any part of an NFL game, including the halftime show, very seriously and are pleased this individual will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” McCarthy said in a statement.
literally the exact same thing they said when Biden won in 2020, like word for word, without a hint of irony. it's so funny to see blue team dive into qanon style conspiracy theories without a second thought (or even a first!)
Even by the standards of the average BlueAnon lib this one is exceptionally dumb. The libs, they aren't sending their best

Is "Goblin" Musk here? You keep talking about intellectual seriousness and then using childish nicknames. Like, let me be clear, Musk should be executed, I'm not making a moral claim against you there, I just think you look silly and are hampering your own communication.
Trump won the election. The Electoral College itself is anti-democratic, but within the parameters of winning the electoral college, Trump won and pretending he didn't is lowering yourself to his level in 2020 when his loss was just as obvious and explainable as Kamala's subsequently was.
I have no clue who they mean either. What i think is great about it is that they expect us to 100% know who they're refering to.
I think it's Musk, it's kind of almost endearing how they keep using these names that literally nobody else has ever used. Strong ”Wrap it up, Obamailures” energy.
Did George W Bush win fair and square?
