Dwyan Morgan, 64, reconstructed the moment he hit Brady with the beam in an exclusive interview with Inside Edition on Thursday

Morgan shone the laser at Brady at least three times during the crucial match in Missouri, but he asserts he never intended to hurt the 41-year-old

‘I didn’t think it would go this far,’ Morgan said. ‘I shouldn’t have done it’

When asked if he would apologize to New England or Tom Brady directly Morgan responded ‘absolutely not’ - though he apologized to Chiefs fans

He now faces up to a year in jail or a fine of $1,000 if found guilty after police say he disturbed the peace during the match

A man who was charged with disturbing the peace after he shone a green laser pen into Tom Brady’s eyes during a New England game has spoken out for the first time - but insists he won’t be apologizing to the quarterback.

In an exclusive interview with Inside Edition, Dwyan Morgan, 64, reconstructed the moment he hit Brady with the beam during the Pat’s AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs on January 20.

Morgan shone the laser at Brady at least three times during the crucial match in Missouri, but he asserts he never intended to hurt the 41-year-old, ‘maybe distract him a little’.

He told the station he’d had one too many beers and thought he’d try and make his two sons laugh, who were sat next to him in the stadium.

The incident wasn’t originally captured on CBS’ broadcast of the game, but a local news camera man captured the exchange from the side-lines and uploaded the video to Twitter.

One week later, the police tracked Morgan down as the culprit and charged him with a misdemeanor count of disturbing the peace.

‘I didn’t think it would go this far,’ Morgan said. ‘I shouldn’t have done it.’

The electrician added that he felt remorseful for embarrassing Chiefs fans, but when asked if he would apologize to New England or Tom Brady directly he responded ‘absolutely not’.

He now faces up to a year in jail or a fine of $1,000 if found guilty.

Following his arrest, the Chiefs are said to have wanted criminal charges brought against Morgan so police could impart the ‘harshest penalty possible’ to deter any other fans from following his lead.

Despite the seriousness of the investigation, prior to Morgan’s arrest, football fans joked on Twitter about who the culprit could be.

‘The NFL is investigating where the laser pointer directed at Tom Brady during the AFC title game came from,’ wrote one user. ‘To figure out who was rooting for Tom Brady to fail... investigators have narrowed their search down to everyone.

Laser pointers are forbidden at most sporting events around the world, because experts say that staring directly in to the beam can cause lasting damage to the eye.

Morgan, who is not a season ticket holder for the Chiefs, has now been banned from the Arrownhead Stadium indefinitely.

His use of the pointer didn’t appear to phase Brady as the Patriots went on to beat the Chiefs 37-31 and later going on to win the Super Bowl.
