TC 112 provides details. 46-year-old American Joseph Tager staged a brawl in the luxury Radisson hotel because of his refusal to show documents about the place of his previous residence, and then continued to bully and be rude in the police department where he was taken. Although Tager said several articles of the Criminal Code, including for insulting the President of Russia, he was issued only under an administrative article for hooliganism.
