BOURNE, Mass. (AP) – One of the evacuees of Hurricane Katrina who has been staying at a military base on Cape Cod was asked to leave because of “repeated disruptive behavior,” an official said.

Allen “Tattoo” Gubser, 39, of New Orleans, was asked to leave Camp Edwards on the sprawling Massachusetts Military Reservation on Friday, said Katie Ford, a spokeswoman for the Office of Public Safety.

Ford said Gubser violated several rules at the reservation, which also houses Otis Air National Guard Base. She said he was frequently drunk, got into arguments and threatened others with his dog.

“While we want to be welcoming to the guests who are here, we also have to respect the fact that Otis is an active military base,” Ford said.

Gubser denies the allegations and said he intends to file a lawsuit.

“I have witnesses saying I wasn’t drunk,” he said.

The Salvation Army provided Gubser, a female companion and the dog plane tickets to San Francisco. Gubser left Saturday after spending Friday night with a friend in Boston.
