In the video, he can briefly be seen talking with the officers.
Hunt was at the Barley House on Saturday night. As he left, he and one of his friends got into a spat, drawing police over to the scene. Hunt spoke with the police, but he wasn't arrested or detained.
An eyewitness said that the altercation between Hunt and his friend did become physical, but the nature of the situation is still unclear.

This is the last thing Hunt needed heading into the 2019 season. He's set to serve an eight-game suspension to start the year for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy after video surfaced of him kicking a woman at a hotel.
The Browns signed him in February. The general consensus with in the organization was that he deserved a second chance and that he's actively working on his character.

Still, a bar altercation involving any player, especially one with Hunt's recent track record, doesn't reflect well on the team.
For both Hunt and the Browns' sake, they better hope that this whole situation ends up just being a massive misunderstanding.
