According to the Nashville Metro Police Department, White has been charged with public intoxication and vandalism after breaking a phone and pulling a fire alarm at a Nashville hotel. He was arrested after trying to escape from the hotel in a cab and was kicking a hotel guest that was trying to stop him.
The police report said the 26-year-old “appeared to be extremely intoxicated and smelled strongly of alcohol.” Also, police said his “eyes were red and bloodshot.” Police responded to a call from the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel at 2 a.m. on Sunday describing a drunken man, who was later identified as Shaun White, pulling a fire alarm that forced the hotel to evacuate all of the guests.
