Orlando City’s Mason Stajduhar arrested after nightclub altercation
In a late-night incident that has caught the attention of fans and authorities alike, Orlando City Soccer Club goalkeeper Mason Stajduhar and his wife, Tatiana Stajduhar, were arrested following a disturbance outside a downtown Orlando nightclub. The event unfolded around 1 a.m. Sunday at the Tier nightclub, where the couple allegedly engaged in disorderly conduct.
The situation escalated when Mason, 26, was ejected from the nightclub by security for being disruptive at the entrance. According to police reports, the goalkeeper attempted to reenter the club, asserting that the bouncers had mistreated his wife during the commotion. Police statements reveal that Mason admitted to resisting security in his effort to check on his wife’s wellbeing.
Meanwhile, Tatiana, 25, reportedly confronted the officers on the scene with verbal assaults and physical resistance. She allegedly pushed an officer in an attempt to reach her husband, continuing to shout obscenities during her arrest. Despite her actions, she was charged only with disorderly conduct, avoiding more severe charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence.
Orlando City SC has acknowledged the arrest of their Homegrown player, stating that they are in the process of gathering more information and will not comment further at the moment. Mason Stajduhar has been with the team since signing as a Homegrown player in 2016. This incident raises concerns about the off-field behavior of sports figures, underlining the pressures and scrutiny they face. The club and the fans are now awaiting further details as the legal process unfolds.
