Pie Scandal in Arizona

The Smoking Gun has posted the incident report for the pie-in-the-face that Ann Coulter received:

The custard also landed on the muslim scrim, a black woven cloth like material used for a scenic backdrop on the stage. Centennial Hall Associate Director Ed Brown was on scene and stated that the cost of damage to the screen of $3,000 or more.

Unfamiliar with theatrical equipment, the officer who filed the report may have been unaware the actual term is "muslin scrim". Which, by the way probably would not cost $3,000; at least not at $6.95 per yard (or less). Of course, we have this interesting Arizona statute to consider:

Criminal damage is a class 5 felony if the person recklessly damages property of another in an amount of two thousand dollars or more but less than ten thousand dollars.

Maybe I'm inferring too much and Mr. Brown just wants to clean up in his own special way.
