In the sequence filmed by the other client, identified by WSAV as Cristina Riofrio, a student in visual arts, we can hear the man telling Riofrio that he worked in the United States for years before asking him: " What did you do? "

"In America, I can speak F — ING Spanish if I wish," she writes in a Twitter post containing the video clip.

A spokesman for the Chatham County Sheriff's Office confirmed to WSAV that the man, identified as a prison maintenance mechanic named Walter Browning, had been fired, the department having "No tolerance for this type of behavior and not allowing anyone to knowingly be mistreated. "
