Brett Wilhelm/ESPNX Games and Winter Olympic champion Shaun White was arrested in Nashville, Tenn., Monday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Authorities say two-time Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Shaun White has been charged with public intoxication and vandalism after an incident at a Nashville hotel.

According to a police affidavit, White tried to attack a hotel guest who had followed him out of the hotel. When the guest told White he had called the police, the skateboarder "attempted to attack the man and fell and hit his head."

The report says White appeared to be drunk.

A separate affidavit states that White deliberately broke a phone belonging to the hotel.

Police say he was given the opportunity to sign misdemeanor citations and refused.

Staff at the Criminal Court Clerk's office, which maintains the paperwork for the case, said White hasn't appeared in court because he is hospitalized.

Asked about the incident, Lowe's Vanderbilt Hotel manager Tom Negri said Monday in a statement that the hotel is committed to the safety and confidentiality of its guests. The statement didn't identify White and referred all questions to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

White, the two-time defending Winter Olympic halfpipe snowboarding champion, has also won 24 X Games medals as a snowboarder and skateboarder, including 16 golds.

Information from ESPN.com's Devon O'Neil and The Associated Press was used in this report.
