A viral Knicks championship parade stunt that ended with a JPMorgan Chase executive losing her job has now resulted in city fines after New York sanitation officials recovered the Knicks-themed trash can she was accused of taking from a Manhattan street.
Angie Báez returned the commemorative litter basket Wednesday morning, according to the New York City Department of Sanitation, nearly a week after video showed her dumping trash from the container onto a sidewalk before walking away with it during the New York Knicks' championship celebration.
The Department of Sanitation told Fox News Digital that Sanitation Police issued Báez two summonses in connection with the incident: a $75 fine for littering and a $100 fine for impeding Department of Sanitation operations.
"These fines are the maximum allowed by law for first offenses," a department spokesperson said.
Video of the incident spread widely on social media following the June 18 parade, which drew hundreds of thousands of fans to Lower Manhattan to celebrate the Knicks' first NBA championship in more than five decades.
Báez was later identified by the New York Post as a JPMorgan Chase executive whose LinkedIn profile listed her as Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce.
Her previous experience included diversity, equity and inclusion leadership roles, including at The Infatuation, which was acquired by Chase in 2021.
Following the incident, JPMorgan Chase confirmed that Báez was no longer employed by the company.
Fox News Digital contacted JPMorgan Chase on Wednesday seeking additional comment about her departure.
"This employee is no longer with the company," a spokesperson said, reiterating the company's previous statement.
The company declined to provide additional details.
Despite the public attention surrounding the incident, the New York Police Department indicated it has no complaint report on file.
"There is no complaint report on file with the information provided in your inquiry," an NYPD spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The Department of Sanitation said it does not have an estimate for the cleanup costs associated with the trash dumped from the basket, but noted the amount was insignificant compared to the overall cleanup effort following the parade.
"We do not have a cost estimate, but note that the trash you see in the video is a tiny amount in comparison to the 75,260 pounds of confetti and litter we collected Thursday and Friday," the department said.
The agency also appeared to have some fun with the situation in a social media post announcing the basket's return.
"We have 23,000 litter baskets on the street citywide, and you never know where one of these may pop up," the department said, adding that fans interested in a Knicks-themed basket can purchase smaller versions online.
