The Major then turned to face his fellow officers, but Guida demanded that the Major return. “Major, I'm on his DWI,” the major repeatedly responded. Guida persisted in his request and walked up to the Major.

The altercation then apparently turned physical after Guida apparently “touched” Major. The major appeared to angrily slam his superior into the car, yelling, “Don't touch me.” The major instructed his superiors to “get out of here before we cause trouble.”
