Police Say Nick Carter 'Appeared Intoxicated' Upon Arrest at Key West Bar

Police in Key West, Florida say Nick Carter was "slurring" his words when they arrested him at the Hog's Breath Saloon on Wednesday.

Carter, 35, and Michael Papayans were taken into custody after the general manager of the establishment, Art Levin, told law enforcement that he witnessed one of the men throwing a punch at an employee.

In an incident report obtained by ET, police say the men "appeared intoxicated" upon their arrest. "Papayans and Carter were slurring their words and repeatedly attempted to stand up after being asked to remain seated," the document states. 

Police say Papayans had "a contusion on the right side of his face, a swollen lip, abrasions on his knuckles (both hands) and abrasions to his knees."

In the report, Levin told officials that the bartender at Hog's Breath refused to serve the men when they entered the bar due to their level of intoxication. He says Papayans and Carter then "became agitated and aggressive" towards the bartender, and refused to leave even after bouncers asked them to exit multiple times.

A video was also released of the arrests (warning: NSFW language).
