A former student at Mississippi State University has been charged with disturbing the peace after allegedly directing an antisemitic slur at Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, during a video shoot in Starkville, according to authorities.

The individual, identified by police as 20-year-old Patrick McClintock, was reportedly captured on video shouting “F— the Jews” at Portnoy outside a pizza establishment in Starkville on Friday, November 7.

Starkville Police Department stated that they were alerted to a viral video depicting someone making antisemitic comments and throwing coins at another individual near a local business. Following the report, police initiated an investigation and issued an arrest warrant over the weekend.

On Monday, November 10, McClintock was formally charged with disturbing the peace, which is a misdemeanor that pertains to public disturbances or actions that could incite violence. After processing, McClintock was released from custody.

“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.”
