The prosecutor's office also says the security guard tried to break up a fight between Scott and his bodyguard. An investigation is now open.

Up until this point, Travis looks like he's been enjoying himself in Paris. On Thursday, he was sitting courtside as the United States men's basketball team beat Serbia in the semifinals .

The timing is shocking ... the arrest came just hours after prosecutors dropped a criminal charge against Travis in Miami for allegedly getting into a heated argument with a yacht worker back in June. He was charged with disorderly intoxication and trespassing -- the first charge was just dismissed.
