Man, 40, who ‘screamed the N-word and “no black lives matter” at black woman in vile attack is arrested
A FLORIDA man who was filmed screaming racial slurs and threatening a black woman from his car has been arrested.
Jeffrey Rouse, 40, was caught on video screaming a racist tirade at a black woman at a stoplight and asking her to tell him "how much your life matters" and threatening to mace her.
Rouse was arrested after leading police on a 100mph car chase through Collier County and barricading himself inside his home.
Collier County Sheriff's Office said that he is charged with fleeing and eluding, assault and two counts of criminal mischief.
Detectives are still investigating the racist encounter but will request a hate crime enhancement from the state attorney.
The video, which has been seen by more than 3.8 million people on Twitter since Thursday night, begins with a man screaming at the woman filming him in Naples, Florida.
The woman, named Mishou, responds "Am I supposed to be hurt?"
In the driver's seat of a tan sedan, the man looks over his shoulder directly at the camera and screams aloud twice, before saying, "hey" and stuttering for a second inaudibly as he turns and reaches for an object.
Once he returns to face the camera, he is seen holding some kind of object that closely resembles mace. He asks the woman: "Tell me how much your life matters?"
"Why is that necessary?" The woman responds. However, the man does not wait for her response to continue spewing racist comments.
"Your black n***** face. F*** you, n*****. That's how much your life matters. Nothing. F*** you," the man screams as the woman filming zooms in on his face.
"How many Black Lives Matter right now? None," the man continues after repeating the same phrase for a second and third time.
The man, aware he is being filmed, even adds: "Take the video, put it on Facebook, and then lick my a****le while I s*** on your n***** loving face."
He adds another derogatory epithet before screaming "woooh," and the video shuts off.
The person who posted the video on Twitter wrote "I literally just got off the highway into Naples and this is the first thing that happens to me. Like this man could’ve killed me at a whole red light. FIND THIS MAN!!"
Internet sleuths began commenting on the thread, saying to be on the watch for a car that sports a duct-taped window.
One commenter posted a screenshot of a post from a week before showing a similar man and car. The person also allegedly spewed similarly racist things to another black person.
"Does anyone recognize this man or the vehicle?" The post reads.
"My brother just witnessed him repeatedly yelling F U Ni**** to an elderly black man, forcing the elderly man to roll his window up to not have to hear the hate coming out of this man's mouth!"
