37-year-old Christa Tull tried to leave without paying her tab at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge around 2 a.m. on April 22nd. When officers arrived, they noticed Tull was detained, and they met with Brandon Schneider, a security guard for Tootsie’s, who stated that after she refused to pay, he asked her if they could keep her ID so she could come back and handle the balance when she sobered up. He said Tull took a deep breath and reached in her purse, looking back and forth at him multiple times before telling him, “I just want to go home.” Tull then pulled out a black pocket knife, so he grabbed her and took the knife away, fearing she would use it on him. After this, he handcuffed her and waited for the police. Matt Mosely, a witness, told officers that he saw the entire incident take place and corroborated Schneider’s statements. Tull admitted to pulling the knife from her purse but stated it was an accident. Tull was taken into custody for aggravated assault.
