Actor Drops Suit Against City
Hollywood schlub Jason Patric decided to drop his civil suit against the City of Austin yesterday. The "Speed 2" star claimed that he was arrested with "excessive force" and subsequently falsely imprisoned after getting plastered at Antone's. Patric was in town attending a screening of "The Alamo," and later was found stumbling around Fifth and Colorado at 2:30am by a cop attempting to rid the downtown area of its post-closing douchebaggage - from the police affidavit and testimony from a plaintiff's witness:
"As I recall, Visi approached and said, 'Do you have a problem?' The officer said, 'I can arrest you for public intoxication.' (Patric) said, 'Give me the test.' And at that point the officer got physical and said, 'This is the test.' "Visi was attempting to clear the intersection when Patric, who was on foot, "assumed an aggressive stance." When the officer threatened to arrest him, Patric offered to take a sobriety test and told the officer to test him or take him to jail. Visi then tried to arrest him and took Patric to the ground, the affidavit said.
Leave it to these LA-types to make everything so godawfully cinematic. And while the City is now off the hook, the suit against police officer Joshua Visi remains.
