A former student from Mississippi State University has been charged with disturbing the peace following an incident involving antisemitic remarks directed at Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports. The event occurred during a video shoot in Starkville, authorities reported.

Police have identified the individual as 20-year-old Patrick McClintock. He was filmed shouting an antisemitic slur, “F— the Jews,” at Portnoy outside a pizza restaurant in Starkville on Friday, November 7.

The Starkville Police Department was alerted to the incident after a video showing the altercation went viral. The footage allegedly depicts McClintock making antisemitic comments and tossing coins in the direction of another individual outside the establishment. Following this, the department initiated an investigation and issued a warrant over the weekend.

On Monday, November 10, McClintock faced charges of disturbing the peace, which is a misdemeanor encompassing public disturbances or actions that may incite violence. He was subsequently processed by authorities and released.

“Every person has the right to feel safe and respected in our community,” stated the Starkville Police Department. “While offensive speech is protected, actions that disrupt public events or pose a risk of violence are taken seriously to ensure safety and security.”

“Every person has the right to feel safe and respected in our community,” the Starkville Police Department said in a statement. “Offensive words alone are protected, but when behavior disrupts a public event or risks violence, we will take steps to help maintain safety and security.”

The incident occurred as Portnoy, who is Jewish, was filming one of his “One Bite” pizza reviews. In the video, a man can be heard shouting, “Hey, f— the Jews, f— you, Dave,” as Portnoy’s camera rolled.

Portnoy responded, “Why don’t you come in the camera, buddy?” Moments later, McClintock appeared to glare at him and shout, “Get the f— out of Starkville,” before witnesses and security intervened.

“He said, ‘F— the Jews,’ and threw s— at me,” Portnoy said afterward, according to video shared online.

Mississippi allows enhanced penalties for crimes motivated by bias or discrimination, and authorities said the case remains under investigation.

Following public backlash, Mississippi State University confirmed to Fox News Digital that McClintock voluntarily withdrew from the university on Monday afternoon.

The incident comes amid a broader rise in antisemitic incidents nationwide, which Portnoy addressed in a separate CBS News interview. He told CBS Sunday Morning co-host Tony Dokoupil that there has been a “definitive shift” in antisemitism and that he now faces hatred “every day.”

“I’ve seen in my own experience, just being Barstool, the difference between how much hate I get,” Portnoy said. “I mean, occasionally you get a k— or Jew or whatever. It’s every day now. Like there’s a definitive shift in what’s going on.”

“So yes, now, for me, being a Jewish person, you’ve got to step up. You’re kind of someone people look up to in the Jewish community. You have to be like, ‘All right, this is not normal.’ People are coming in with real hate.”
