He tried to put out the flaming spear at a match, and was arrested for doing so. He then sprayed the police officer in the chest with the fire extinguisher he was using to put it out.

On October 28, 1989, Sebastian was tackled by a group of police officers for attempting to put out Chief Osceola's flaming spear prior to Miami's game against long-standing rival Florida State at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee. Sebastian was wearing a fireman's helmet and yellow raincoat and holding a fire extinguisher.
