Stand-up comedian Elayne Boosler says she was arrested at a Los Angeles Dodgers game on Sunday, with her handbag at the center of her detainment.
Boosler believes the alleged incident, which occurred during a daytime game against the New York Mets, took place because a 'power-hungry' security guard wanted to check out her baseball-themed purse.
When Boosler was allegedly told her handbag, complete with red baseball stitching and a glove on the zipper, did not meet Dodger Stadium's policy for handbags, she was told she could 'take it back to her car, or throw it away,' per TMZ.
Boosler did not like that alleged idea for a few reasons, citing she should get 'special treatment' because of the work she has done for the team over the years, like performing the national anthem and taking part in celebrity softball games.
After allegedly causing more of a disturbance, the 71-year-old Boosler was told she would be arrested if she did not leave the stadium. Her alleged reply: 'Fine. Arrest me.'

Boosler was then allegedly put in handcuffs and taken by security to be formally charged with trespassing.
After two hours of waiting, Boosler was told she could leave the stadium and not be arrested, which she did.
Boosler later told TMZ the security guard who did not give her access should be fired.
She missed a good game for Dodgers fans, as Los Angeles defeated the Mets 10-0.
Boosler is viewed as a pioneer for females in stand-up comedy, which continued into Sunday, where she allegedly cracked jokes to the security who arrested her while being detained.
