According to many who witnessed the whole incident, Trey was approached by a police officer who immediately went after him without warning.
It is alleged that Trey was caught off-guard, started defending himself and even connected a punch with the officer before being pinned to a seat.
Witnesses who spoke to TMZ saw it as self-defence on Trey's part as he never provoked the police officer.
Trey was put in handcuffs once backup arrived at the scene and taken into custody. He has been accused of trespassing, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer.

The fame, attention, money and power that came with his success somehow messed with him and his life was in shambles a few years after.
In a post shared on Instagram, Justin shared how shaken and distraught he was seven years back when he was cuffed by the police publicly and escorted to a station as the paparazzi watched.
The 27-year-old explained that during that period, he was depressed and his hope was gone. The Cold Water singer also stated he was pissed at God at the direction his life had taken but years later, Jesus delivered him and now he is happy.
