According to Shreveport Police patrol report, officers were called to the Stray Cat bar in the 200 block of Travis Street just after 2 a.m. to deal with a rowdy patron.

As more officers arrived, several other patrons at the bar, including Brolin and fellow actor Jeffrey Wright, 42, tried to impede the officers, the report said. In all, the report named 10 officers called to the ruckus.

Brolin, Wright and four other people were charged with interfering with police, a misdemeanor. Brolin was booked into the city jail, and posted $334 cash bond to be released.

(Detective Rod) Demery said one thing has been unusual about this incident: the publicity.

“I’ve heard from National Inquirer, Entertainment Tonight, Extra, the New York Post and a few other national outlets,” he said. “Lots of people have called.”
