As Quintero began interfering with the arrest of Hudson, a civilian told officials that Quintero had a gun.

A 41-year-old security guard at the Lucky Bastard Saloon saw Quintero pulling out the gun from a satchel. The guard jumped down from the window of the saloon and onto Quintero, knocking the gun out of Quintero's grasp.

Officials report that Quintero was also charged with unlawful gun possession, gun possession while under the influence, public intoxication, and marijuana possession.

Quintero is being held at a $53,000 bond.
