Giants fans celebrated the team's win over the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium peacefully Sunday until one Big Blue supporter decided to commemorate the victory in a blatantly illegal way.
Daniel Justin Raboni was arrested Sunday night after trying to set fire to a massive, 80-by-50 foot Bucs flag at the team headquarters near the stadium, said police. The flag costs $26,000 and hangs from 15-foot pole at One Buccaneer Place, the Tampa Tribune reports.

Lighting up the flag like a giant Tampa cigar ended up being a problem because it was made of fire-retardant material, said authorities. So the 32-year-old firebug was only able to melt a small portion of the flag.
Raboni, of North Palm Beach, Florida, now faces charges of criminal mischief and possession of marijuana. He's being held at Hillsborough County Jail on $2,500 bond.
And nice mugshot.
