The exhibits, made public in Owens’ court filings, indicate the background check conducted on behalf of the defendants determined there was a pending arrest warrant, issued by another state in 2022, for failing to appear in court on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct by engaging in fighting; possessing, repairing or selling an offensive weapon; and criminal mischief through damage to property.

He can be mad at the Pokémon people all he wants, but 0% surprised that they won't sanction him to host events for kids when he has violent charges pending. Seems like the system is working as designed.

Well, according to him the three charges “do not show guilty findings" because he never went to court. So, just don't get caught and no one should question your innocence.
