43-year-old model Joseph Lindsley was jailed on Sunday evening after officers were flagged down at Ole Smoky for an individual who was screaming in the middle of the street, threatening to shoot security. The security team had already detained Mr. Lindsley, and he refused to speak with the police. The security advised that Mr. Lindsley was drinking in the bar for a while before he finally left, but he returned, asking security to help him find his vehicle. He then became aggressive, told them he was going to shoot them when they told him they couldn’t help him, and began taking his clothes off. The security determined it was best for them, the patrons, and Mr. Lindsley if they detained him. Officers then arrested Mr. Lindsley as he was unable to care for himself.
