31-year-old Tyler Lynn Bidwell flagged officers down for assistance on Broadway near Jason Aldean’s Rooftop Bar in the early hours of August 18th.  The police asked him how they could help him, and he said he would like to speak with a supervisor. During this, they observed Bidwell reeking of alcohol and showing signs of intoxication as he further explained that he wanted to know why they had a group of individuals detained. Officers responded by explaining that they were engaging with members of the community and that the individuals were free to go at any time. Then, Bidwell asked for a supervisor again. After being questioned about the nature of the request, Bidwell said, “I do not answer questions.” After several requests without a reason, officers called for a supervisor. Officers were informed that due to a high volume of service calls, they would not be able to come to the scene. The officers tried to see if they could assist Bidwell, but he refused to answer their questions. Then, they determined that he did not need their help and walked away. After this, Bidwell went to Broadway Brewhouse Downtown and started antagonizing the people speaking with officers by getting in their faces with his cell phone. The group attempted to get Bidwell to leave peacefully, but he continued to pester them about talking to the police. The individuals then went to officers and complained about Bidwell’s actions, stating that he was annoying them. Bidwell was deemed a danger to himself and was taken into custody for disorderly conduct and public intoxication.
