A New Orleans police spokeswoman told Reuters that Gooding was subsequently issued a summons to appear in court at a later date.

On Monday, Gooding was a patron at a French Quarter bar where he was accused of shoving the establishment’s bartender after she asked him to calm down.

According to the police report, the “Jerry Maguire” actor became irritated when fellow bar patrons recognized him and wanted to take pictures.
