When the driver of the truck directed Harrison to exit the vehicle, he refused. The firefighter, according to the report, attempted to shove Harrison out of the truck and Harrison fought back. Harrison eventually exited the truck and that’s when the shoving match on the street started.
Harrison faces several charges including disorderly intoxication, battery on a firefighter and burglary.
