64-year-old Richard Lloyd was arrested after setting fire to a convenience store after thinking the owners were Islamic Arabs (they are of Indian descent and not Muslim) and because he was angry that they did not have his favorite orange juice!

WPTV reported that he gave himself up at the scene of the fire and told sheriff’s deputies that he was trying to “run the Arabs out of the country.”!

This happened in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Lloyd had already been arguing wth the clerk and store pwner a few days previous because they didn’t have his favorite brand of orange juice.

St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken J. Mascara said in a statement:

“When the deputies arrived, they noticed the dumpster had been rolled in front of the doors and the contents were lit on fire,”

“Upon seeing our deputies, the man put his hands behind his back and said ‘take me away.’”

“The man, identified as Richard Lloyd, was read his Miranda Rights and then told deputies that he pushed the dumpster to the front of the building, tore down signs posted to the outside of the store and lit the contents of the dumpster on fire to ‘run the Arabs out of our country.’ It’s unfortunate that Mr. Lloyd made the assumption that the store owners were Muslim when, in fact, they are of Indian descent.”

Lloyd was taken to the St. Lucie County Jail and charged with first-degree arson.In a court on Saturday he told the judge he is representing himself he was just “doing his part for America.”
