URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — An offensive video circulating online has led to a man getting fired from his tow-truck job. Reynolds Towing in Champaign is apologizing for the antisemitic clip.

The video shows an employee standing on the back of a tow truck in a Reynolds towing uniform giving a Nazi salute. He then said an expletive referring to Jewish people.

The video was making rounds online on Tuesday, with multiple people sending the video to WCIA’s newsroom.

Reynolds Towing released a statement on Tuesday. It said:

We were recently made aware of a deeply disturbing video from 3 years ago involving a current employee wearing our company uniform and engaging in an offensive gesture. This individual’s actions do not reflect the values of our company, our employees, or what we stand for. We do not and will not tolerate hate in any form. This individual has been immediately terminated.

Our company is made up of hardworking people who had no knowledge of this incident and do not support these actions. We are taking steps to ensure something like this never happens again, including implementing stronger policies on employee conduct and mandatory sensitivity training.

We sincerely apologize for the hurt this has caused and we ask for the opportunity to prove that we are a business that serves the community with integrity and respect.

Reynolds Towing

Owner Kevin Enghausen said the video was made three years ago on a Saturday when only two employees were working, and no other employees knew about the video.
