According to one witness, Xen Sams, "I was right at the bar area having a conversation and all of a sudden, this guy got rowdy. He was extracted in a chokehold, he was still screaming and yelling," adding, "He was clearly drunk."

Another witness chimed in, "I had never seen anything like this before. It was very ugly."

"Witnesses said the donnybrook erupted while Schellace was speaking with Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R) of Florida," the Post is reporting with Schellace explaining the altercation stemmed from a "misunderstanding" sparked by "a conversation of a political nature," adding that he was not drunk.
