On Dec. 2 at approximately 10:15 p.m., security staff at Topgolf escorted a man, later identified as Eldred, off the property for urinating onto a set of stairs inside the business.

Eldred was part of a work group that rented an area at Topgolf for a holiday party. The affidavit said he was a guest of an employee of the group.

According to documents, Eldred was described as “intoxicated, argumentative, and belligerent when asked to leave.” The documents also said that as he was escorted off the property, he “taunted, threatened and used a racial slur directed at [one of the security officers] who is African American.”
