Authorities in Port St. Joe, Florida say a man charged with a hate
crime felt inconvenienced by his arrest because he had “only shot a
n*gger.”

Walton Henry Butler, 59, was arrested by Gulf County Sheriff’s
deputies on Monday night for shooting 32-year-old Everett Gant, who is
black, in the head with a .22 caliber rifle.

According to a charging affidavit obtained by The Star, Butler had
referred to Pamela Rogers’ child and other children at his apartment
complex with racial slurs.

Gant was shot between the eyes when he went to Butler’s apartment to
confront him over the remarks, the documents said. Butler allegedly
closed his sliding glass door and left Gant bleeding on ground
outside.

The suspect contacted 911 and had finished his dinner before Gulf
County Sheriff Joe Nugent arrived.

Nugent recalled that Butler appeared “inconvenienced” by the arrest,
saying that “he had only shot a n*gger.”

“He was brought to the investigation unit where he was interviewed and
basically admitted to shooting the victim and said he shot a, used a
racial slur, and said that is what he shot and acted like it was not
like a big deal or anything to him,” Nugent told WJHG.

Butler was charged with attempted murder with a hate crime
enhancement. He was being held in the Gulf County Jail after an
appearance in court on Tuesday morning.

Gant was in stable condition at Bay Medical Center and is expected to
survive.
