Australian Tennis Pro Tomic Charged With Resisting Arrest in Miami

MIAMI — Australian tennis player Bernard Tomic has been charged with trespassing and resisting arrest following complaints over a noisy penthouse party at a Miami Beach hotel, police said on Thursday.

Security guards were called to the room in the W Hotel in South Beach early Wednesday following multiple noise complaints. The 22-year-old tennis player, ranked 25th in the world by the Association of Tennis Professionals, refused to turn down the music and slammed the door in the guards' faces, according to an arrest affidavit.

After police arrived, he and his guests were told to pack up and leave but Tomic refused, the report said.
