An arrest warrant says around 2 a.m. Thursday, Jarvis and band member Samuel Martin were running around the 6th floor of the Hilton hotel, taking off their clothes and trying to play the hotel piano.

Security guards intervened and asked the two band members to put their clothes back on. Jarvis refused and at some point rushed one of the security guards and punched him in the face several times.

Jarvis is charged with assault on a public servant, that's a third degree felony. The band is scheduled to be back in Austin Saturday night for a SXSW showcase at Vice.
