Police say the person approached Angel inside the Starbucks and asked him about the flyer.
According to police, Angel caused a disturbance in the Starbucks, then exited and waited for the person outside where he continued to yell racial slurs and profanity at the person.
Authorities said that when they searched Angel's car they found white supremacist flyers, a Ku Klux Klan hood, other KKK regalia, clothing with swastika and confederate flag patches, a ventriloquist dummy, stuffed animals and a security guard uniform.
