32-year-old Oliver Edward Mcclean caused a disturbance at Rippy’s Honky Tonk around 8:18 p.m. on May 11th. Upon arrival, several witnesses and security for the establishment told officers that Mcclean was harassing and touching patrons. Security also stated Mcclean was involved in a physical altercation, prompting them to remove him from the bar. The other party involved in the scuffle advised officers that he told Mcclean to stop harassing patrons. Mcclean responded, “What are you going to do about it?” Mcclean then approached him and put his hands around the man’s neck. He said he pushed Mcclean back, prompting security to break up the fight. Then, officers located Mcclean outside of the bar, reeking of alcohol and showing signs of intoxication. Mcclean was seen yelling at security guards, prompting officers to separate him. Mcclean could not call anyone he knew or provide officers with the address to where he was staying, so they deemed him a danger to himself and others. During a subsequent search, officers discovered a baggie containing 1.7 grams of cocaine. Mcclean was taken into custody for simple possession and public intoxication.
