NC man behind 'You live in Trump country.' anti-gay attack, police say [View all]

RICHLANDS, N.C. (WNCT) – A Richlands man police said committed a hate crime in Key West last week was arrested in Onslow County on Thursday.

Brandon Ray Davis, 30, was taken into custody Thursday morning by the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office on an extraditable warrant for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon with evidence of prejudice.

Key West police said Kevin Seymour and Kevin Price were riding their bicycles in Key West when they saw Davis swerving on a rented motor scooter.

Seymour told police he shouted to warn Price he almost hit a car.

The Miami Herald reports the man then yelled anti-gay remarks and said he bet the two men voted for Hillary Clinton. Then he yelled, “You live in Trump country now.”
