As officers approached the Spirit of Seattle they saw a 23-year-old woman, whom they identified as Taviona Amos, at the top of the gangway yelling and swearing. Several women were trying to escort her off the ship, but she held onto the railing, and refused to move, the affidavit said. Amos' 29-year-old sister, identified as Tasha Amos, joined her. The two blocked others from getting off the ship and yelled and swore at officers, according to the affidavit.

When police arrived, they found a chaotic scene of more than 100 people on the dock, many of them shouting and arguing. Officers then learned that some passengers were still physically fighting aboard the ship. Officers moved to the dock to begin clearing the ship, where they found a small group of people blocking the gangway and preventing passengers from leaving the vessel.
