       TAMPA (FOX 13) - A group of fans picked up where their
       Buccaneers left off Sunday, chasing someone in a Giants jersey
       who was torching their team -- well, their team flag, anyway.
       According to Tampa police, a 32-year-old man scrambled over a
       fence outside the Bucs' facility Sunday evening and used a
       lighter to try to set the flag on fire.
       "The suspect fled on foot wearing a NY Giants Jersey with a
       number 10 on it, with a group of Buccaneers fans chasing behind
       him," the report continued.

       Some of the fans called 911, bringing police to the scene -- but
       not before the flag, valued at $26,000, suffered "significant
       damage," according to a police report.
       "I walk to and from school -- this is my usual track here -- and
       I see this flag. If it were to be gone, that would be my
       history, my little slice of 'Yes! At least I know where I come
       from,'" witness Angel Huertas offered.
       When police caught up with the man, later identified as Daniel
       Raboni of North Palm Beach, they say he was carrying a small
       amount of marijuana.
       Raboni remains behind bars on charges of felony criminal
       mischief and possession of marijuana.
       "We're talking about someone's property.  It's a business. No
       one has the right to destroy someone's property, and it is a
       zero tolerance," police spokesperson Andrea Davis stated.
       "I'm not saying get the rope," Huertas continued, "but can I
       punch him one time?"
