Sportscast­er arrested for attacking sign

-

NAPLES, Fla. — Sportscast­er Warner Wolf is facing a felony charge after police say he damaged a sign outside his southwest Florida community because it includes the word “Plantation,” which he considers racist.

Collier County records show the 81-year-old Wolf surrendere­d Thursday on a felony criminal mischief charge and was released.

The sheriff’s office said Wolf long complained about his community’s name, Classics Plantation Estates.

Deputies say surveillan­ce video shows Wolf removing the letters on Nov. 30.

Wolf declined comment Saturday and his attorney didn’t return a call. Wolf announced baseball, football, and the Olympics for ABC in the 1970s and did sportscast­s in Washington, D.C., and New York.
