Sports Symmachus, Vol. 2 No. 4

Phoenix Suns superfan "Mr. ORNG" was arrested on Tuesday for alleged sex crimes, according to the Peoria (Arizona) police department. Per the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, Patrick Battillo, 37, faces multiple felony charges following allegations by the school's administrators.

Battillo was the varsity boys basketball coach at Peoria High School and served as a volunteer. On Tuesday morning, police were contacted by the school after learning of allegations surrounding Battillo.

"We are aware that two trusted members of our Peoria High School community were arrested last night," the Peoria Unified School District said in a statement. "We are working to ensure that those who may have been victimized receive the space and care they need, and we are cooperating with Peoria Police Department on their investigation.

"Patrick Battillo was the varsity basketball coach and volunteer, but yesterday we were made aware that he may have committed sex crimes involving children. As soon as we became aware of the allegations, we contacted the Peoria Police Department, the Arizona Department of Education and have filed a report with the Department of Child Safety."

Battillo was arrested for allegedly soliciting sexual photos and videos from students at the school for financial compensation, according to Arizona's 12 News. Authorities stated that students reported Battillo's advances to another teacher, Holly Holgate, who didn't immediately report the situation.

Peoria High School teacher Holly Holgate, 46, was also arrested and charged with hindering prosecution and failing to report child abuse or neglect.

Peoria police were tipped off to the crimes around 10 a.m. Tuesday when Peoria High School administrators alerted the school’s resource officer that Battillo, 37, had received images and videos of students via Snapchat in “various sex acts and in various states of nudity,” according to police.

Battillo pretended he would send these videos and pictures to another person who would then send him the money. Battillo would give that money to the students, according to AZ Family. Once a student caught on that Battillo was actually the “other person” soliciting the content and keeping it for himself, the student reported what was happening to Holgate.

Holgate then alerted Battillo, who volunteers in her class, to the allegations against him, and he fled the school before police could question him. Holgate was taken into custody at the school and Battillo was arrested in Goodyear. The two were both processed at the Peoria Police Department then transported and booked into Maricopa County Jail.

Batillo is being held on $100,000 bond and Holgate is being held on $25,000 bond.

Referencing the headline, I just want to say that I was completely forthcoming about the fact that this article was about a person of orange persuasion, and never explicitly stated that it was any orange person in particular.

Also, a lot of the state of Arizona is made of desert. Desert is oftentimes red. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that Arizona is red.

In this regard, describing Arizona as a "red state" is completely accurate and fully honest.

But anyways, back to our Mr. Orng, he used to have a reputation as an effective and eccentric hypeman for an NBA basketball team; but now with these kiddo porn charges cropping up, him being slathered in all that orange makes him simply look annoying and punchable and useless. Here are the mugshots of him and that irresponsibly idiotic woman who allegedly let him scamper away from police.

And from the above-linked Cronkite News AZ PBS link, here's this snippet that makes Sauce Battillo look so damn hypocritical.

Batillo could famously be found adorned in orange regalia as his alter ego “Mr. ORNG” over the last decade-plus at Suns games, encouraging fans to get on their feet to cheer on the team. He joined Peoria High School’s coaching staff as an assistant coach in 2016, then was given the interim head coach job in the 2019-20 season before leading the Panthers to a second place finish in the state championship, ultimately leading to a permanent head coaching spot.

In 2023, he coached the team to a state championship. As recently as April 4, Battillo spoke to kids at Legacy Traditional School for “ORNG day.” According to Batillo’s LinkedIn page, he has volunteered at MOMA’s House since 2007, an organization that aims to help women recovering from sex trafficking and domestic violence.

You see, Mr. Orng is one of the best male feminists ever! Just like Ted Bundy!

So yeah, I am pretty sure the Phoenix Suns don't want this Kraft Mac n' Cheese Chomo at their games anymore. But hey, I'm thinking the prison he is staying at has been super chill about him being there. Why? Because they still let him wear orange.

Shame on Mr. ORNG. Wait until Charles Barkley gets wind of this! Mr. ORNG is worse than Chris “Birdman” Andersen. Poor Birdman was catfished.
