Shaun White Arrested For Being Wasted Trashing Hotel Room

4:00 PM PT -- We just Shaun's mug shot ... he's got a BLACK EYE.

Olympic gold medalist Shaun White was arrested several hours ago after allegedly getting wasted at a hotel and badly injuring himself ... sources tell TMZ.

Sources tell TMZ ... White was in a Nashville hotel when he allegedly trashed his room in a stupor. When he was confronted by hotel staff, Shaun allegedly pulled several fire alarms and then ran fast ... so fast he fell and split his head open.

Law enforcement tells us Shaun was arrested for public intoxication and vandalism, but was taken to a hospital for treatment first. Once he's treated he'll be taken to jail.

Shaun's rep could not be reached for comment.

Shaun White's mug shot seems to confirm what sources have told TMZ -- that the Olympic gold medalist allegedly attacked someone who tried to stop him from fleeing the Nashville hotel where he allegedly raised hell.

The Nashville Metro Police Dept. tells TMZ ... cops responded to the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel around 2 AM on Sunday after getting a tip that an allegedly intoxicated White pulled a hotel fire alarm, causing an evacuation of the entire hotel. A hotel employee also told police White smashed a hotel phone.

Cops say ... a concerned citizen tried to stop the 26-year-old from leaving the scene in a taxi ... but White allegedly kicked the person and proceeded to flee on foot.

According to police, the alleged victim says he chased after White ... and collided with the snowboarder .... causing White to fall backwards and slam his head against a fence.

Cops say White appeared to be extremely intoxicated and reeked of alcohol at the time of the altercation.

White was transported to a nearby hospital where he was booked for vandalism and public intoxication. The citizen declined to pursue assault charges.

The Flying Tomato Busted For Pulling A Charlie Sheen

Okay, this is some Charlie Sheen shit, but without the mountains of coke (I think) and the traumatized porn star locked in the bathroom (I think, again). It really is hard going through life knowing that you'll always be known as the less hot Carrot Top and Olympic gold medal-winning snowboarder Shaun White obviously let that get to him, because he lost his mind at the bottom of a booze bottle before trashing his hotel room in Nashville. Shaun White not only looks like he's been training his whole life to be a Rock of Ages extra, but he acts like it too. Before you make one of those "Watch out, we've got a badass over here" jokes, you haven't seen Shaun tussle with a floor lamp. Yes, the floor lamp probably won that fight, but I'm sure Shaun got in at least one slap to the shade.
TMZ says that after the secret toilet baby of Ann Romano and Schneider from One Day at a Time drunkenly messed up his hotel room, he pulled a few fire alarms (because why not). When Shaun tried to leave the hotel, a dude from the hotel caught him outside and tried to stop him. Shaun kicked the dude and ran away, but because the boomerang known as karma sometimes works real fast, he knocked his head into a fence and got a black eye. Bitch got taken down by a fence! The cops showed up and put Shaun in handcuffs for vandalism and public intoxication.
Two words: GINGER BUFFOONERY!
If the government really does have hidden cameras on every corner, can they please unite this nation in laughs by releasing the footage of Shaun getting whooped by a fence? Next to seeing a fat biker dude with neck tattoos openly reading Fifty Shades Freed (which tells me he read the first two books and LOVED them) on the subway, seeing Shaun knocking his head into a fence will be the greatest thing I've seen this month. That fence should get a gold medal in douche handling.

He annoys me on so many different levels but I kinda wanna fuck him.

**OrangeSlice** · September 17th, 2012, 09:12 PM

Ahaha. Is anyone shocked by this?

**LynnieD** · September 17th, 2012, 09:15 PM

What is it about him? I know he's perpetually banging models left and right so he must have something working for him under those snowboard pants.

Also when he was in "Friends with Benefits", it made me think he was really good at acting like a dickhead. Guess it wasn't that far of a stretch for him.

^ I loved Friends with Benefits but as I'm in the UK me and my friend who watched it were like, imagine if that's actually a skateboarder playing a cameo? I'm sure if Shaun had heard he would have punched me. Then fell over himself.

Oh lawd, no! Male ginge is a total turn off for me and his douche aura being loud and proud is just the finisher.

Ha, that's the first thing I thought of too--him in that movie, it seemed pretty random at the time, but maybe he really was just playing himself.

I love watching him skate/snow board, he is very talented and makes it fun to watch. But there is something grimey and creepy about him,...but yet a tad of sexy. Not sure why I find anything sexy about him,...but it does tend to sneak in there occasionally. lol

He never struck me as being a douche. But I'm always wrong about men. I felt kinda sorry for him when Sasha Cohen turned down his overtures in Torino.

Drinking enough can turn a lot of people into an asshole. I like the guy but yeah I would have wanted to deck him if he had woken me with a fire alarm.
