Deputies were called to the bar and hear noises outside the bar. In responding, officers found Oliver apparently intoxicated and screaming profanities. He was making verbal threats of harm according to deputies.

After a brief struggling to get him in handcuffs, Oliver reportedly began spitting with saliva landing on one of the deputies. He claimed to have AIDS. Oliver denied having AIDS later. Deputies said they aren’t sure if that’s truly the case.
