A Tennessee man was reportedly arrested on Saturday after threatening and yelling racist slurs at children.

The man, identified as Bradly Watkins, allegedly used the N-word during an argument with the underage victims at a Family Dollar in Memphis, local broadcast station Fox 13 Memphis reports. The altercation escalated when Watkins allegedly followed the minors after leaving the store, reportedly continuing to yell racist slurs at them from his car.
