ST. PETERSBURG - Bucs safety Donte Nicholson got into a scuffle with security guards outside a bar early Sunday and was shot with an electric stun gun twice before he was arrested, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.

Nicholson, 26, was charged with battery and resisting arrest without violence, both misdemeanors. He was released from the Pinellas County Jail within hours of his arrest after posting $300 bail.

The scuffle broke out at The Venue, a nightclub at 2675 Ulmerton Road, where Nicholson and his roommate, Torrey Robinson, 31, had been socializing, Sgt. Jim Bordner said.

It was closing time, and Robinson, who was outside the club, tried to re-enter, but that is not allowed under club policy, Bordner said. Robinson claimed he was a Buccaneers player as he flashed an expensive watch, hitting one of the security guards in the face with it, Bordner said.

I love incidents like these. You know, the ones where someone pulls the old, “Do you know who I am?” line, the cops says no, and then the cop introduces the douchebag to his tazer.
