As BuzzFeed reports, police issued an arrest warrant for Don Crandall Jr. last Friday for โ€œImproper Exhibition of a Firearm.โ€™โ€ Crandall was filmed more than a week ago arguing with four black students who were attending a friendโ€™s party at an off-campus student housing complex.

During the exchange, Crandall, who doesnโ€™t live or work in the complex, told the students they couldnโ€™t enter the building if they werenโ€™t residents. As he prevented them from getting onto an elevator, he took out his firearm.

โ€œSir, you bring out your gun. Whatโ€™s your purpose for that?โ€ one of the students asks him.

โ€œOh, Iโ€™m 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, โ€œwe 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 โ€œnot know his whereabouts at this time.โ€
