UGA Vs. Florida Fan Threatened Woman Before Fight W/ Officers, Cops Say
The man who dropped the n-word multiple times in a wild scuffle with police officers during the Georgia vs. Florida college football game on Saturday allegedly threatened a woman just moments before the chaotic incident went down.
Jacksonville Sheriff’s officers wrote in a police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, that officers were first called to the scene after a female security guard at Everbank Stadium said the man — ID’ed as Walter Brown — had made a threat toward her.
The cops stated in the docs the woman had tried to eject Brown from the venue over it — but he was combative … and said “he was not going anywhere.”
The JSO officers — one of whom is Black — eventually confronted Brown following the woman’s claims, and body cam footage showed the guy was unwilling to listen to orders … and made racist comments throughout their encounter as well.
In the video, you can see the officers tase Brown — who continuously threw out the n-word during the altercation — to eventually get him into cuffs.
According to the incident report, the officers sustained several injuries during the run-in … including scratches and a puncture wound.
Brown, meanwhile, suffered a laceration over his eye — the officers wrote in the docs.
Brown was ultimately arrested and booked on four separate charges — including battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting officer with violence, disorderly intoxication and trespass on property.
Brown, according to the docs, had threatened to sue the officers over their actions … but Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said Monday that after reviewing the body cam footage, the law enforcement agents “acted within policy to protect themselves and nearby fans.”
