SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – A man seen on video making racist comments to a group of young college students speaking Spanish is finding himself out of a job.

The man, now identified as Walter Browning, was terminated from the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) on Wednesday. News 3 is told he worked there as a Jail Maintenance Mechanic for the past three years.

“The Chatham County Sheriff’s Office is going to distance themselves from people like this,” said Chatham County Sheriff John Wilcher. “We’re not going to tolerate it and that’s the end of the subject.”

Wilcher spoke to reporters on Thursday morning. A statement from his office indicated that CCSO officials became aware of the existence of a cell phone recording involving Browning and unknown persons on Sunday, Sept. 22.

That’s a day after Christina Riofrio, a Savannah College of Art and Design student, posted the video of her encounter with Browning on Twitter.

The 19-year-old says she was born in California and her parents are from Ecuador.
