A Florida man is now facing a series of charges after allegedly directing racial slurs and threats towards police officers. He reportedly attempted to spit on one officer and nearly burned another with a cigarette, all while claiming employment with former President Donald Trump.

According to the probable cause affidavit, 34-year-old David Scarlott shouted, “F— you, you f—ing n—,” following his arrest by the North Palm Beach Police Department on Sunday.

Officers approached Scarlott to question him about a traffic accident from which he allegedly fled. As detailed in the affidavit, he refused to cooperate with the investigation, insisting he was exempt from questioning due to his purported connection to the President of the United States.

Police described Scarlott as “combative” from the outset when they arrived at his North Palm Beach home on Huckleberry Lane. The affidavit notes that he exhibited signs of intoxication, such as the smell of alcohol on his breath, and repeatedly hurled racial insults at the officers.

Scarlott allegedly shouted, “F— you n—, get off my property,” during the confrontation.

The affidavit recounts an incident where Scarlott stood up and aggressively pointed a lit cigarette at an officer, coming dangerously close to burning the officer’s face. This act, coupled with threats of violence against the officers and their families, led to his arrest and being placed in handcuffs.

“Scarlott continued to resist, yelling threats such as, ‘I’ll beat you and your family,’” the affidavit says. “He exclaimed, ‘F— the cops” and “you pigs have nothing else to do,’ disturbing the peace of nearby residents who were trying to sleep.”

Scarlott allegedly remained combative during his transport to the North Palm Beach Police Department and was “banging his head” against the right rear door window.

“Take these handcuffs off so I can wipe the floor with you,” he allegedly said. “You shouldn’t be cops in a white neighborhood.”

According to the affidavit, he further stated, “If I was free of these handcuffs, I’ll make sure you don’t make it home to your family.” He allegedly continued his threats and hateful comments while at the police station, along with insisting that he worked for the country’s commander in chief.

“Scarlott claimed to work for President Trump and warned that if we did not let him go, we would end up unemployed,” the affidavit says. Scarlott allegedly asked to speak to a police sergeant while in his holding cell, with police saying he “cleared his throat and attempted to spit on” them.

Police booked Scarlott on felony counts of attempted battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest without violence and corruption by threat against a public official. He made his first appearance in court Monday and was granted a $25,000 bond for the battery counts, a $5,000 bond for resisting and a $10,000 bond for corruption by threat. It was unclear if he was still behind bars Wednesday.
