37-year-old Phillip Hughes was involved in a domestic altercation at the Exit/In on September 7th. When officers made contact with Hughes, they reported he smelled like alcohol and that his behavior was highly erratic. They also noted that he was sweating profusely and that he might be on some kind of drugs.

Following the incident, Hughes was offered medical assistance and transportation to an alternative location. However, he refused to accept any support. Officers determined Hughes was a danger to himself and others, so he was taken into custody. While being taken into custody, Hughes fell to his knees and began screaming while crying. Hughes was charged with public intoxication on September 8th.
