At around 6:00 pm, at 3 West Main Street in Vernal, dispatch was advised by the caller that a male was out in the road yelling profanities and trying to fight with individuals who walked by him.

A second caller reported that an intoxicated male, described as wearing a green shirt, basketball shorts, and a ball cap, was yelling at every male who walked past him. The male was then observed getting into a black Durango and sitting in the vehicle's passenger side.

Officer Candelas made contact with the male, identified as 51-year-old Antonio Nekeo Redfoot, who was found holding a closed alcoholic beverage of 4 Loko and emitted a strong odor of alcohol as they spoke.

While in handcuffs and being escorted to the patrol vehicle, Antonio began to pull away from the officers and was instructed to stop, which he did. He then entered the patrol vehicle. Antonio was transported to the Uintah County Jail.
