30-year-old Joseph Anthony Atencio was observed holding an open alcohol container near Jason Aldean’s Rooftop Bar around 1 a.m. on May 19th. When officers approached Atencio, they told him to throw away the can or give it to them. Atencio gave officers the can, then started cursing and throwing up the middle finger at them. Officers told Atencio to disperse the area immediately. Initially, Atencio walked away, but he then reapproached officers aggressively before “lunging his head” toward them. Officers again told Atencio to leave the area, and he walked away. However, Atencio returned yet again, yelling at officers and clapping in their faces. Atencio continued to approach officers, so they detained him for the incident. During their interaction, Atencio exhibited signs of intoxication, was sweating excessively, and reeked of alcohol while he admitted to consuming alcohol. Atencio was taken into custody for disorderly conduct and public intoxication.
