Nabil Latif Majeed

A panhandler who was born in Iraq was arrested outside a custard store in The Villages.

Nabil Latif Majeed, 59, of Lewis Center, Ohio, had been hanging around outside Ollies Frozen Custard at the Spanish Plaines shopping center at about 8 p.m. Monday when Sumter County sheriffs deputies were summoned to the scene.

When the Baghdad, Iraq native spotted a deputy coming toward him, he began walking out into traffic, according to the arrest report. After Majeed was detained by a deputy, he said he had been looking for food to eat from a trash can. Majeed then used a racial slur, aimed at the deputy.

Majeed was ordered to sit on the sidewalk while the deputy spoke to a representative from Ollies Frozen Custard about the incident. Majeed disobeyed the deputys instruction and got within a foot of the deputy and the Ollies Frozen Custard staffer. When the deputy attempted to handcuff Majeed, he pulled away and refused to cooperate. He also touched the deputys body camera.

Majeed was arrested on a charge of trespassing and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center. He was also banned from Ollies Frozen Custard.
