Former "Survivor" cast member arrested in Florida

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) - A former contestant voted off "Survivor Gabon" last month was arrested on charges of disorderly intoxication, obstruction of an officer and resisting arrest without violence after an argument in a Naples bar. Ace Gordon was the seventh contestant voted off the reality show.

Ace Gordon 
Police arrested the 28-year-old Gordon at 2:22 AM on Sunday morning after observing the security staff of Sway Lounge, a bar in Naples, escorting him out of the establishment.

 Staff members told police that they had asked Gordon to leave after he allegedly struck a woman at the bar. As police escorted him out, Gordon allegedly resisted arrest, reached toward a deputy's face in an aggressive manner, and had to be handcuffed on the ground according to the Naples Daily News.

According to reports, Gordon repeatedly told deputies he was famous while en route to jail.

The Survivor bio on Gordon note Gordon was born in New York but raised in London, Ace attended the prestigious Hill House School in Knightsbridge. His privileged background and world travels lead Gordon to mockingly state, "I'm probably better than you and highly more [sic] educated."

Gordon was released from custody on a $1,500 bond.
