The officer informed Peterson and the group that the bar was closed and asked them to walk toward the nearest exit,” Smith said.
The officer moved on to inform other patrons of the club’s closing and then returned to Peterson’s group, which was still talking at the bar, Smith said.
The officer again asked Peterson’s group to leave and turned away.
“That’s when Peterson told the officer that the group had heard him the first time and pushed the officer in the shoulder, causing him to stumble,” Smith said.
The officer responded by telling Peterson he was under arrest and asking him to turn around and place his hands behind his back, Smith said. Peterson began yelling at the officer, Smith said.
“As the officer attempted to place Peterson in handcuffs, Peterson pulled away from the officer and assumed an aggressive stance,” Smith said.
A second officer, an HPD sergeant also working an approved extra job at the club, tried to help with the arrest, Smith said.
Peterson struggled with both, drawing a third officer into the mix, Smith said.
