Prosecutors are dropping charges filed against a Tennessee man for throwing a catfish onto the rink in Pittsburgh during the opening of the Stanley Cup Final. District Attorney Stephen Zappala said in a Facebook post Wednesday that Waddell's actions "do not rise to the level of criminal charges" so the charges "will be withdrawn in a timely manner." Nashville Mayor Megan Barry had called for the charges to be "quickly dismissed." Waddell called himself "a dumb redneck with a bad idea" in a conversation with Nashville radio station WGFX-FM . "No matter how much I ran over it with the truck, the head was too damn big."
