A Bradenton Police officer was dispatched to investigate a complaint of loud music at 3:00 a.m. Friday morning. According to the Bradenton Herald’s website, the officer arrived on the scene to find Alberto Hernandez-Ortega sitting in a pick-up truck parked in a driveway and according to the officer the man was intoxicated. At that point the 39-year-old man was asked to sit on the tailgate of the truck while the officer went inside the house. At this point things got a bit ugly.
