NEW: Lakeland doctor Jeffrey Epstein arrested at @MCO for resisting @OrlandoPolice officers who said he was yelling and had to leave. In video, the dr says they're "treating me like an (expletive) black person". Epstein tells me he was making point about police use of force #WESH
More from Epstein:
"I was no danger. I was being loud because I wanted everyone to see. I wanted everything to be out in the open."
"Big companies have to take care of their customers, and when they call the cops in, they got to deescalate, not escalate."
More from doctor arrested at @MCO for resisting arrest:
"I’m a conservative Republican, I’m a #Trump guy. But until the police fix this problem, I don’t blame black people for being upset when they get arrested."

New Reedy Creek board members, appointed by Gov DeSantis, meeting now. Looks like they are looking at legal challenges to old board’s agreements with #Disney that give it wide reign over RCID land for next 30 years #WESH
Agreements were approved in last couple months before DeSantis’ members took over. The language says the agreements stay in effect no matter what the new members say #WESH
District’s Legal counsel says they just found out about these agreements that were approved in public meetings over the past several months. Calls them “unusual” and “suspect” #WESH
26-year-old Richard Clayton is in Orange County jail, accused of posting a threat on Facebook, saying he was getting his AR-15 back and to “stay out of @Walmart next week.” He was arrested at the Winter Park house of his family #WESH
Investigators with FDLE also say Clayton appears to “believe in the white supremacist ideology” and has a history of posting threats
Police say while being arrested, Clayton said he prays the arresting officer would be shot, said Hispanics are “what is wrong with this country”, and threatened to pee in the officer’s car. He didn’t, though, because the officer told him he is not Hispanic #WESH
