A 32-year-old man, Delonte Fraley, was arrested after allegedly threatening to shoot a D.C. bar and restaurant employee for instructing a bartender not to serve him alcohol and asking him to leave. Police allege he used homophobic slurs during the confrontation. The employee reported that Fraley was standing near their vehicle when they exited the restaurant, prompting them to return inside and call police. Court records indicate similar threats and homophobic slurs occurred the previous day, leading staff to deny service when he returned. Fraley faces felony threats (hate/bias) charges, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 4.
"A 32-year-old man was arrested on Sunday, May 24, after allegedly threatening to shoot an employee of a D.C. bar and restaurant for instructing the bartender not to serve him alcohol and asking him to leave. A press release from D.C. police also accuses the suspect, Delonte Fraley, of using homophobic slurs when confronting the employee. The employee then allegedly found him standing near their vehicle when they exited the restaurant. They went back inside and called the police before Fraley spotted them."
"The affidavit reportedly explains, "The defendant became irate," stating, 'I know where your Tesla is at. See me outside f***ot, I will slap your ass' and 'I will shoot your ass.' The affidavit continues, "The complainant stated he felt unsafe while the defendant was standing in front of his vehicle because he felt the defendant was capable of carrying out those threats.""
"Court records obtained by the Blade explain that Fraley had used homophobic slurs and threats against the employee and the restaurant hostess the previous day, which is what led them to deny service to him when he returned. Fraley has been charged with Felony Threats (Hate/Bias). A preliminary hearing will take place on June 4."
