A neighbor told the police that they heard a knock at the door and saw Ferguson making his way through the backyard. The neighbor also said that he saw Ferguson’s black Mazda in the street. It was still running and the passenger windows were rolled down.

When police took him in for questioning, he said that his actions were done in an attempt to hide from the Latin Kings. He also added that he was hiding from Arabs, and used a racial slur to describe them.

Ferguson faces DUI charges, as well as charges for public drunkenness, driving without a license, careless driving, trespassing and criminal mischief.
