Tampa --

A tattoo on Bryant Walker's right wrist reads "Hate." One on the left wrist says "Love," an affidavit states.

Police didn't indicate which hand Walker used when the 23-year-old was accused early this morning of flinging a bottle at someone in an Ybor City nightclub.

Tampa police charged Walker, of Tampa, with felony aggravated battery and misdemeanor resisting arrest without violence at about 1:15 a.m. after a fight at Club Prana, 1619 E. Seventh Ave., records show.

Jail records list Walker as an analyst with the U.S. Air Force at MacDill Air Force Base. He was released from the Orient Road Jail today after posting $8,000 bail.

According to an affidavit, Walker threw a bottle at someone on the dance floor, causing a scratch above the person's right eye.

The affidavit does not identify the other person or state the nature of the dispute.
