A 31-year-old Walnut Creek man was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication and resisting a police officer after making himself unwanted at the Red Hen Cantina, according to Napa police. Arrest information does not indicate a conviction.

An evening at the Red Hen Cantina turned into a night in the Napa jail for a far-from-sober 31-year-old Walnut Creek man who resisted all efforts to get him to leave the restaurant, according to a shift activity log from the City of Napa Police Department:

On 09/21/12 about 2038 hours NPD Officers were dispatched to the Red Hen Cantina at 4175 Solano Ave. regarding an unwanted subject.

Upon the Officers arrival, they contacted the suspect, Elliot Galarza 31 years old of Walnut Creek. Galarza was determined to be very intoxicated and was placed under arrest.
