A man from Florida is facing several charges after allegedly directing racial slurs and threats at police officers. He reportedly came close to spitting on one officer and nearly burned another’s face with a cigarette, all while asserting he was an employee of President Donald Trump.

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

Authorities contacted Scarlott during an investigation into a traffic accident from which he allegedly fled, as stated in the affidavit. When questioned, he refused to cooperate, claiming he wasn’t obliged to answer because of his purported role with the President of the United States, the document reveals.

Police described Scarlott as “combative” when they arrived at his home on 708 Huckleberry Lane in North Palm Beach. The affidavit notes he had a “distinct odor of alcohol” on his breath and continuously hurled racial epithets at the officers.

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

The ornery alleged racist stood up at one point and “pointed a lit cigarette aggressively” at one of the officers, “inches from burning [the cop’s] face,” according to the affidavit. This allegedly happened while he was threatening to assault them and even their relatives, which prompted officers to place him 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.
