Police were called to a hotel in Nashville on Monday (17Sep12) after staff reported the gold medallist for allegedly drunkenly trashing his suite.
As hotel managers attempted to confront him about the matter, he made a hasty exit, setting off several fire alarms in the process.
However, White slipped as he tried to escape and suffered a nasty cut to his head.
He was subsequently arrested and admitted to hospital for treatment, according to TMZ.com.
