Professional snowboarder Shaun White was arrested last night for second degree criminal tampering at a local resort, police said.
According to a report filed by the Breckenridge Police Department, the Beaver Run Resort in Breckenridge has video evidence of White, 21, discharging a fire extinguisher in the resort’s game room. Resort security guard Sean Fay told police that he saw a white man and a white woman enter the game room yesterday evening. Soon after, Fay noticed that the game room fire alarm had been activated, and he found the room filled with dust and smoke. Fay spoke to the man and woman after the incident, but left momentarily only to return and find them missing.
Officer Steven Block of the Breckenridge Police arrived at the resort after the incident, where he was shown video surveillance by Fay, according to the report. Block then left the scene to attend a briefing.
After Block’s departure, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office arrived and detained White in relation to a stolen vehicle it found outside the resort, according to the report. When Block learned of this, he returned to the resort and identified White as the man who discharged the fire extinguisher based on his distinctive shoes, which Block noticed in the surveillance video. Block then served White a summons, after which White was driven back to his hotel by a Burton Snowboard Company representative.
No arrests were made by the Breckenridge Police Department in relation to the stolen vehicle.
