Takeru Kobayashi, former hot dog eating champion, was arrested Sunday at the Nathan's International Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island after he tried to make his way on the stage after fans chanted his name.
Kobayashi has won the hot dog eating contest six years in a row from 2001 to 2006. He did not compete this year and watched from the stands due to a contract dispute over money with Major League Eating.

During the annual contest on Saturday, Joey Chestnut won the competition by eating 54 hot dugs in just ten minutes for his fourth straight win.

During all the excitement, Kobayashi decided to rush the stage after his fans chanted his name. New York police were not as excited as they arrested and charged him with two misdemeanors including resisting arrest and interfering with police. He was released on Monday after spending the night in jail.

Kobayashi has not won since 2006. Sorry to say, but it looks like the end of the road for him. Like every other fan, you have to follow the rules and can't just jump on the stage whenever you want, especially in a city like New York. I wonder if his jail food included hot dogs.

I thought it was a joke but there really is a Major League Eating.
