He was cited for public intoxication and charged with obstructing or resisting an executive officer, according to the report. Thomas was held at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station and released on Tuesday.
The account of the alleged assault comes from the Sheriff’s Department as reported by TMZ. The available report does not describe any injury to the deputy or provide a response from Thomas.
