According to police documents, the officer was working security early Sunday morning, when Scott fought being removed from Skully's Boneyard Bar and Grill.

After the officer identified himself, the suspect allegedly kneed the officer at least twice, including once in the groin. Scott's friends attempted to prevent the officer from making the arrest.
