According to an arrest report, Levy had been involved in a disturbance at a restaurant on Weston Road.
Levy was “highly intoxicated and causing a disturbance inside the restaurant” and was told not to return by the manager, the report said.
A deputy arrived and told Levy to leave the property multiple times but after ignoring the deputy Levy was taken into custody, the report said.
He was later booked into jail.
Levy briefly appeared in court Tuesday where his bond was set at $250 on each charge for a $500 total.
He bonded out of jail later in the evening, briefly speaking to reporters before leaving.
“All of a sudden, he started arguing with another guy, and I just got in the middle to deescalate the situation, and I’m the one who ended up in handcuffs,” he said.
