Officers on scene asked McManus if he had paid for the food and beverages he consumed. He allegedly said,  he did,‘t not know he had to pay for them. 

Based on this admission and the totality of the circumstances, McManus was arrested.

During a search incident to arrest, police recovered a BeatBox alcoholic beverage from the McManus’ sweater pocket. While escorting him to the patrol vehicle, he began shouting derogatory comments, including calling the two officers “b**ches,” making racial slurs, and spitting in an officer’s direction, narrowly missing, according to court records.
