Olympic snowboarder Shaun White was arrested for public intoxication in Nashville over the weekend. 

Police were called to his Hotel at about 2:00 A.M.,  after he trashed the phone in his room and pulled a fire alarm, causing the hotel to be evacuated. 

White then tried to flee the hotel and take off in a taxi, but someone tried to block him from getting into the cab.   So White kicked him and ran off.   But the guy followed him.  The two collided, and Shaun hit a fence, opening a nasty wound on the back of his head. 

Police said he appeared to be extremely intoxicated and reeked of alcohol.  White was taken straight to the hospital, where he was booked for vandalism and public intoxication. 

After he was treated for his wound, he was released on his  own recognizance.   

Here's his mugshot.  It's not clear how he got the black eye.
