An employee said the man, later identified as Thomas "caused a disturbance in the lobby with a guest and then refused to leave the bar," the report said.

The bartender refused to serve Thomas more alcohol because he was so drunk before he started vomiting into the trash can, the report said.

"While walking to my vehicle, Mr. Thomas attempted to exit a sliding glass door but ran into a closed glass door," Carroll reported.

Thomas was then arrested for public intoxication.
