And for those wondering, yes, I would have charged a team technical foul to the visiting team for this fan's unacceptable behavior.

Rule says stop the game for spectator behavior and let game management deal with it. If game can't proceed then suspend. Fan behavior can be a reason to assess a T, (I've never done it or seen it) . Forfeit for fan behavior isn't a choice under rules as far as I remember.
