The video, filmed by an unknown woman, features Brudenell (incorrectly) making a “1488” hand gesture – recognized by the Anti-Defamation League as a numerical code used by neo-Nazis and white supremacists – and declaring that “border-hopping” immigrants should have their throats “sliced” before making personal insults to the woman filming on her phone after being confronted about his comments.
Scottsdale Police said Brudenell had fled from the venue’s security personnel prior to being apprehended by officers and was duly taken to Scottsdale Jail and booked on suspicion of criminal trespassing, refusing to provide his real name and underage alcohol consumption.
They added that, although they were not aware of the fact at the time of the arrest, Brudenell is the same man who has been widely seen declaring “Heil Hitler” and making racist slurs against Mexicans in a video that recently went viral on Instagram after reportedly being filmed at the WM Phoenix Open.
A teenager who was seen in a viral video making shocking racist comments is facing multiple charges after being subsequently arrested for trespassing while intoxicated at a golf club in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Scottsdale Police spokesperson Sergeant Allison Sempsis said officers have addressed the video with Brudenell and have made contact with the woman who filmed it in order to better understand its context.
