Myrtle Beach police officers responded to 1322 Celebrity Circle, which is the address of Broadway at the Beach, Sunday about 9 p.m.

When police arrived, the man was still “acting very disorderly,” screaming and swearing, according to an incident report from the Myrtle Beach Police Department. The man was “uneasy on his feet” even while being held up by security guards and reeked of alcohol, according to police records.
After the man was handcuffed and told he would be arrested, he head-butted a third security guard in the nose and caused him to fall down. The three security guards, two of whom are not named in the police report, are aged 18, 19 and 21.
