A disorderly conduct charge has been filed against a Naples grocery store owner after an altercation at a South Florida casino.

Oakes refused to provide identification when he tried to cash in casino chips at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood on Sunday.

The casino in Hollywood has 3,100 slots, nearly 200 table games, and a poker room.

"(Oakes) allegedly attempted to approach security staff in an aggressive manner," Seminole Police spokesperson Gary Bitner told the Naples Daily News. "While being handcuffed, he allegedly tensed and pulled away from officers."

He was released on a $25 bond after he was arrested.

No stranger to controversy

Oakes, a farmer and major food retailer and distributor, is no stranger to controversy.

Oakes wrote in an email to the Naples Daily News that the casino was giving him a hard time cashing in chips, but that he was never asked for identification when they took his cash.

He said that the loser had $8700.00 in winnings and a $25.00 bond.

In an interview with the Today show, Oakes once described the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidance on mask-wearing and the death toll from the virus as "hogwash."

Why don't we stop the world because of a heart attack? He asked the reporter rhetorically if we should lock down cities because of heart attacks.
