Travis Thompson was arrested Monday and charged with improper exhibition of a firearm or dangerous weapon, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Police began investigating the incident, which was recorded and posted to Facebook on Nov. 11. The video apparently shows Thompson exiting his girlfriend's truck, which is plastered with Confederate flags and Donald Trump bumper stickers, and threatening motorists with a large socket wrench. Another video seems to show Thompson threatening people with a baseball bat.

In both instances, Thompson allegedly shouted racial slurs. No one was injured in the encounter.
