25-year-old tourist Alyssa David came from Pennsylvania to Nashville this weekend for a bachelorette party. Due to their excessive drunken antics, members of the bachelorette party were kicked out of both Tootsie’s and Luke’s 32 Bar. Upset about being bounced, Alyssa approached the nearest Metro Nashville Police patrol car on Broadway to report they were asked to leave because they were “being profiled as white females in the bar.” Officers noted she was extremely intoxicated and moments later approached a downtown ambassador on his segway and began to record him while ‘bopping’ his face with the phone. After an exchange of words which included telling her to pay attention to where she was walking, Alyssa pushed the Ambassador and grabbed his segway, and began to shake it. She was then taken into custody and transported to booking.
