A 40-year-old man is accused of breaking into Miller Park and subsequently trying to carve his name in cursive lettering into the grass with a stolen tractor, causing $40,000 in damage in the process, according to Elliot Hughes of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Keyon A. Lambert of Milwaukee was charged with a felony count of criminal damage to property and misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Lambert apparently entered the stadium on June 2 when he found an unlocked door. Grounds crew were present when he commandeered a tractor that was on location and drove it across the field of play.

He told police he took the tractor because he had never driven one before, according to the criminal complaint. When grounds crew started recording him, "he decided to show off."

Milwaukee Brewers officials described the damages as "minor" in a statement.
