Rams' Bobby Wagner Won't Face Criminal Charges for Tackling Field Invader

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner won't face criminal charges for tackling a fan who ran onto the field during a game against the San Francisco 49ers.

A spokesperson for the Santa Clara Police Department told TMZ Sports that no charges were being filed with the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office following an investigation.

The incident occurred in the first half of San Francisco's 24-9 win over the Rams on Oct. 3. Alexander Taylor ran on the field with a smoke bomb as part of an animal rights protest.

Wagner tackled Taylor, who was taken away be security guards.
