The report goes on to state that White then kicked the citizen an attempted to escape on foot.

Although the police report states that the citizen declined to prosecute White for assault, arrest warrants for the snowboarder were issued this morning after he "refused to sign misdemeanor citations."

UPDATE: On Tuesday, White issued an apology on his Facebook, writing: "I want to apologize for the unwise choices I made over the weekend and for any inconvenience it caused my family, friends, business partners, the hotel and their guests. I was celebrating a happy occasion with a ton of family and friends and got carried away. I'm truly sorry for my poor behavior."
