Tomic arrest in Miami Beach hotel

Australian tennis player Bernard Tomic has been charged with resisting arrest and trespassing by Miami Beach Police.

The 22-year-old has been accused of refusing to leave his Miami Beach hotel room after an alleged altercation with staff and police on Wednesday.

Witnesses claim Tomic was asked to turn down his music following complaints from other residents.

The Miami Beach Police account of the arrest said he "pointed his finger aggressively towards hotel security".

World number 25 Tomic, whose address is listed as Key Biscayne, Florida on the arrest affidavit seen by BBC Sport, was in Miami after being omitted from Australia's Davis Cup quarter-final squad to face Kazakhstan this weekend in an ongoing dispute with Tennis Australia.
