Olympian Shaun White Accused Of Public Intoxication & Vandalism
Sept. 17 2012, Published 12:00 p.m. ET
Olympic snowboarder Shaun White was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee in connection with public intoxication and vandalism, and we've got his mugshot for you right here on RadarOnline.com.
The 26-year-old -- fondly known as ‘The Flying Tomato’ -- activated a fire alarm at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel, and demolished a pay phone on the premises early Sunday, according to authorities.
As he tried to flee the scene, White allegedly kicked at a man who told him he'd called the police. After a short chase, the two collided and White was hurt when his head made contact with a fence.
The two-time gold medalist, who sported a black eye in his mugshot, was released on his own recognizance Monday afternoon.
White, who has not addressed the incident on his Twitter page, is scheduled to appear in court regarding the incident October 10.
