Cincinnati police say two men trespassed in Paycor Stadium overnight, with one accused of trying to steal a barbecue smoker.
Police arrested Kaleb Truong, 19, of Mason, and Alex Winegeart, 18, of Norwood, after a lengthy search around the Cincinnati Bengals' stadium Aug. 24, according to court records and radio traffic. Officers first responded to a call about two men jumping over a locked fence near one of stadium's entry gates from the security team around 2:30 a.m.
Officers said they established a perimeter around the stadium in an attempt to locate the two men, according to radio traffic. Around 3:30 a.m., they reported encountering one of the men.

Court documents say police encountered Truong trying to leave the stadium where officers were positioned. He ran back inside the stadium and officers deployed a K-9 unit. Truong was then arrested without incident.
Video footage shows Truong jumping over the fence and attempting to steal a barbecue smoker, according to the documents.
Court documents do not provide details that outline Winegeart's role in the incident.
Both men face felonious breaking and entering charges and remain in custody at the Hamilton County Justice Center. They are expected to be arraigned in Hamilton County Municipal Court at 9 a.m. Aug. 25.
