23-year-old Nathaniel James Driscoll had an altercation with his friend in front of Jason Aldean’s Rooftop Bar around 12:43 a.m. on June 14th. Officers observed Driscoll grabbing his friend’s chin and lifting it before smacking him. After this, the two began wrestling with each other. Officers ordered Driscoll to stop, but he continued to grab onto his friend’s shirt. Officers grabbed Driscoll by his left arm and had to shove him away. Then, Driscoll started yelling and screaming at officers, stating he was not doing anything wrong and only “play fighting” with his friend. When officers tried to arrest him, he ran forward while pulling his arms away until officers took him to the ground and detained him. During a subsequent search, a small bag with a white powdery substance was found in Driscoll’s back pocket, which Driscoll later admitted he believed was cocaine. Driscoll’s friend told officers that Driscoll attacked him for not leaving the bar with him earlier, adding that he did not believe he was trying to “play fight.” Driscoll’s friend did not wish to press charges for the incident. Driscoll was taken into custody for disorderly conduct, simple possession, and resisting arrest.
