The BALTIMORE SUN learns the real reason why a Ravens fan would camp out on the roof of a local bar:

To escape child support payments.

Ron Stach gained some publicity for himself and the Canton Station bar when he vowed to stay on the roof until the Ravens won a game, or until coach Brian Billick got fired.

Even though neither has occurred yet, Stach came down on Christmas Day. A few days later, police arrested Ron for failing to appear in court for a child support case.

Stach’s ex-wife Kelly alerted authorities to the fan’s deadbeat-dad ways, saying that he owes her over $43,000 for their now 18-year-old son.

Kelly remarked, “I just think it’s horrible that everyone out there thought he was this great supporter of the Ravens, and he hasn’t supported his own kid in the last 18 years.”

Meanwhile, the bar’s owner says he’s going to be more cautious about such publicity stunts in the future: “Any goof who wants to go on this roof, we’re going to do a background check from now on.”
