An "extremely relaxed" Hyatt, who said he would test positive for marijuana and methamphetamine, also told an officer that he had gone out drinking the previous night and "made a mistake."

Later, on the way to the police station, Hyatt asked why police had come to his place of work in the first place.

"When he was advised someone reported him to be asking to share a marijuana blunt, Mr. Hyatt stated he did no such thing. Maybe. That he remembered doing," the officer wrote. "Then Mr. Hyatt stated, 'Oh. That's right. Okay. Yeah, I get it.'"

Hyatt was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana.
