Twenty-two-year-old Dustin Anderson says he hasn't been arrested yet, but that he plans to turn himself into police today. Anderson is the man we have been featuring on STATter911.com since last week who slugged a Vancouver firefighter and swung his bag at riot police after the Canucks were defeated in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Talking to CBC News by phone yesterday, Anderson said he felt "horrible" and that he can't leave his home "because everybody recognizes me".

He did not deny taunting the police officer, but said he was angered by the firefighter's response to him.

"I went to him for help because I had been pepper sprayed," said Anderson. "He told me to go home… He was trying to get in my face."

In one clip Anderson is seen pouring milk over his head in an effort to clean up from the pepper spray.
