LOS ANGELES—A man faces criminal charges for allegedly stealing a uniform from Dodger Stadium and posing as one of the team's players.
Ronald Higgins pleaded not guilty to several charges Friday, including burglary and trespassing.

The 47-year-old Higgins was arrested Wednesday morning after a security guard found him walking on the field in a Dodgers uniform and holding a glove with two balls. Higgins allegedly identified himself as a Dodgers player, but the guard recognized him from an earlier incident and called police.

Prosecutors say Higgins' clothes were later found in the bat boys' locker room. It was not immediately clear where he got the uniform.

If convicted, Higgins could spend nearly four years in state prison.

Attempts to locate an attorney for Higgins were not successful Friday night.

Should have gave DePodesta five year for impersonating a Dodgers front office man.

"security: um sir...is that your uniform?
guy: of course it is. dont you recognize me? I batted .320 last year
security: sir im going to have to ask you to come with me
guy: but i have to warm up for the game! the team needs me!
security: sir youre not part of the team

later in court
"judge: you are hereby charged with trespassing and burglary. how do you plead?
guy: not guilty
judge: wait, are you serious? youre still wearing the uniform!
guy: yeah. im part of the team.
