As BuzzFeed reports, police issued an arrest warrant for Don Crandall Jr. last Friday for โImproper Exhibition of a Firearm.โโ Crandall was filmed more than a week ago arguing with four black students who were attending a friendโs party at an off-campus student housing complex.
During the exchange, Crandall, who doesnโt live or work in the complex, told the students they couldnโt enter the building if they werenโt residents. As he prevented them from getting onto an elevator, he took out his firearm.
โSir, you bring out your gun. Whatโs your purpose for that?โ one of the students asks him.
โOh, Iโm sorry. Excuse me. Forgive me,โ Crandall then says, putting the gun behind his back.
In an interview with ABC News after the video was released, one of the FAMU students said, โwe could have ended up being the next Trayvon Martin.โ
After the video went viral, Crandall was fired from his job as a general manager for Baymont Inn & Suites by Wyndham Hotels.
According to BuzzFeed, a Tallahassee police spokesperson told reporters this weekend that Crandall had yet to be arrested and that police did โnot know his whereabouts at this time.โ
