In a wild twist during the Vanderbilt and Tennessee game, Javier Pavia, brother of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, made headlines for all the wrong reasons by being arrested for public intoxication. This incident isn’t exactly Javier’s first run-in with the law; he’s already had a taste of the handcuffs after another chaotic game earlier this season. It seems like the Pavia brothers have taken “supporting the team” to a whole new level.
Witnesses reported that Javier was waving a huge flag around, blocking the view of other fans and ignoring warnings from stadium staff. His behavior escalated to slurring his words and getting combative when approached by police, leading to his arrest. After being booked, Javier was released early the next morning—which raises the question: Should fans with a penchant for trouble take a seat in the stands or in the back of a squad car? At this rate, may we suggest a family suite for game day?
