“As I arrived at the Cotton Eyed Joe, I observed a female matching the description of the suspect walking eastbound on Outlet Drive.

Suspect said she was “walking away from the Cotton Eyed Joe, and that she did not buy alcohol for a minor.
“At this time (suspect’s) behavior continued to be disrespectful toward me and other officers, to the point of making racial slurs toward an officer on the scene who was Hispanic, calling him a b——-, and that she hoped he and all b——- die,” the report further stated.
“Due to my belief that (suspect) is a danger to herself and others, she was placed under custody for public intoxication. She was transported to the detention facility. Officers attempted to look for the underage female that (suspect) was supposedly selling alcohol to, but were unsuccessful in locating her.”

The details are as follows: upon arrival, I contacted the complainant …,” who “stated a guest of the hotel for the past four days … was asked to leave numerous times and refused.
