Japanese competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi was declared a free man by Brooklyn Criminal Court, provisionally cleared of charges of trespassing and resisting arrest after he stormed the stage at last month\u2019s Nathan\u2019s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island.<\/div>\n

The case, of which its misdemeanors also included charges of obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct, ended with an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal (A.C.D.). This means that if Kobayashi, 32, stays out of trouble for six months, his record will be restored. This is good news for the Nagano native\u2019s New York fans, since he moved to Gotham earlier this year after receiving a 0-1A work visa in February for his \u201cextraordinary ability or achievement.\u201d His visa status should remain unaffected by the court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n
