According to the arrest report, Hernandez became angry when he was cut off from having more alcohol. After he was banned from the casino grounds, he returned. At that point, police say he got into a fight with three security officers and punched one in the face. 

People who regularly go to the casino say they're shocked by what happened. but one regular Casino goer, Paula Garcia, says she isn't going to let the incident ruin her good time. 

She told Fox 4 "We're still coming. I will be a little more careful probably but I will still come".
