When the police approach asking if she’s had “too much fun,” Moorhead immediately goes on the attack, barking that she doesn’t know why they were called.
“Why are you surrounding me, I didn’t do anything wrong,” she mutters, before storming back into the lobby,
She is quickly chased by the police, who tell her that she cannot be on the premises.
‘Why the fuck are you doing this to me? I need to talk to my boyfriend,” she whines as the police escort her back out.
Once there, they inform her that she will be considered an intruder if she tries to go back inside.
“Why, give me a damn reason!” She demands before continuing to argue with the police, at one point calling an officer “stupid.”
“Who the hell are you?” she asks an officer, before threatening to report everyone involved.
Eventually the hotel manager intervenes and asks for her to be removed from the premises due to the scene she is causing.
But this only enrages Moorhead more and she throws herself to the ground to prevent them from moving her.

As police try to bundle her into the car, she falls to the ground again sobbing and shouting ‘f**k you’.
The fight continues as the police continue to try to restrain her while she yells at them to get out.
Eventually she is bundled to the car, but is left tossing around like a toddler in a tantrum, making it impossible for the police to load her up.
Ultimately, she is dragged kicking and screaming into the backseat of the vehicle by the police on the other side of the car, who managed to drag her through.
Her boyfriend then appears and begs the police to be “gentle” with her.
