PITTSBURGH —

One misdemeanor count was dismissed against a man who is facing charges after his friend fell from the outfield stands at PNC Park during a Pittsburgh Pirates game in April.

Ethan Kirkwood, 21, will go to trial on one count of furnishing alcohol to minors after police say he bought alcohol for his underage friend, Kavan Markwood, at PNC Park before Markwood fell from a balcony into right field. Advertisement

Pittsburgh's Action News 4 cameras captured the moment Kirkwood walked into court side-by-side with Markwood.

Kirkwood's attorney, William Stockey, said it is a sad situation and described the two as brothers.

Kirkwood was originally facing two misdemeanor counts of furnishing alcohol to minors, but one of those was dismissed.
