Iglu & Hartly's Michael Anderson Jarvis was arrested in Austin in the early hours of Thursday (March 19) after allegedly assaulting a hotel security guard while half naked.
Jarvis had been running around the Hilton hotel with bandmate Samuel Martin. The pair then attempted to play the bar piano, reports Myfoxaustin.com.
Security guards attempted to stop the musicians, in town for the South By Southwest festival, inciting Jarvis to punch one of them repeatedly in the face, resulting in his arrest by the police.
Jarvis has been charged with assault on a public servant.
