BREAKING: MSU student arrested, accused in antisemitic incident involving founder of Barstool Sports

STARKVILLE, Miss. —
A Mississippi State University student has been arrested and charged with disturbing the peace following an incident over the weekend involving Dave Portnoy, founder and owner of Barstool Sports.

Portnoy was recording a "One Bite" pizza review outside a Starkville restaurant on Nov. 7, when someone made an antisemitic comment and threw coins at him. A video of the incident, which was posted to X, has since gone viral.

The Starkville Police Department said in a statement that it was made aware of the video over the weekend. McClintock, 20, was arrested Monday and was released after he was processed.

"Every person has the right to feel safe and respected in our community," Sgt. G. Brandon Lovelady said in the statement. "Offensive words alone are protected, but when behavior disrupts a public event or risks violence, the Starkville Police Department will take steps to help maintain safety and security."

MSU student newspaper, The Reflector, reported that McClintock is a junior majoring in mechanical engineering.
