Via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
The criminal complaint describes how Lambert entered the stadium on June 2 after finding an unlocked door and wandering to the playing field with grounds crew present. He told police he decided to commandeer the tractor because he had never driven one before and wanted to carve his name into the grass with the tires.
The tractor didn’t move fast enough for that to happen, but Lambert nevertheless drove across the field while raising and lowering the front bucket, damaging the pitcher’s mound and digging holes elsewhere on the field, according to the complaint.
Lambert told police he saw workers recording him with their phones, “so he decided to show off,” the complaint said. He also shouted various things at grounds crew workers so they would stay away from him, he told police.

A statement by the Milwaukee Brewers described the damage as “minor” and said there was “zero indication” Lambert’s actions were connected to social unrest stemming from local and national police brutality protests.
