A man who harassed an interracial couple at a bar on Mother's Day is facing a hate crime charge for the fight he started, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
The victim, who is black, was having drinks at Tailgatorz Sports Bar & Grill on Mother's Day with his wife, who is white, when Warren Stratton approached and asked the man if he was from Africa and whether it was "Africa Day," the report said.
Deputies said Stratton continued staring at the couple and making racial comments then said he was, "just looking for a piece of (expletive)," in reference to the victim's wife.
The victim stood up and told Warren to move along. The argument turned physical when Stratton pushed the victim, according to the affidavit.

No one answered at Noe's $900,000 home. There was a large fence around Stratton's house with a sign outside reading "Low Line Cracker."
