June 27 (UPI) -- Authorities in Louisiana have arrested and charged a 41-year-old man on accusations of creating a disturbance during the Super Bowl halftime show by holding up a protest flag.
The suspect, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu of New Orleans, surrendered himself through coordination with his attorney on Thursday and was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center on charges of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace of a lawful assembly.
An average of 133.5 million people tuned in Feb. 9, to watch rapper Kendrick Lamar perform during the Super Bowl halftime show at Caesars Superdome, making it reportedly the most watched halftime performance in its history.
During the performance, one of the dozens of backup dancers was seen standing on a prop car on stage brandishing a Sudanese flag emblazoned with the words "Sudan and Free Gaza."
