http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-kim-bruns-idrive-bartender-arrested-20150513-story.htmlA International Drive pub owner was arrested last weekend after holding a young black couple at gunpoint and making racist comments while threatening to shoot them, Orlando police records show.
Kim Bruns, who owns the Orlando George & Dragon British Pub, is charged with pulling a gun on Kayla Davis, 21, and her boyfriend Darian Elwin after they arrived to celebrate his 20th birthday, records state.
"It's all false accusations," said Bruns, 51, when reached Wednesday afternoon. "I have black people who work for me. I have never used a racial slur."
Bruns' attorney Rose Feller said, "It is too early in the investigation to determine what has happened. ... I am sure all parties' interests and motives will come to light."
I'd copy more but against the rules.

10 arrests and she's still allowed access to her guns. Makes you scratch your head. From the article she seems to have an extremely aggressive personality

This is not her first run in with the law.
From the article linked in the OP:
It was Bruns' 10th arrest in Florida since 1984. She served 62 days in the Orange County Jail after a 2011 fight at the Blue Jeans Bar in Apopka.
Charged with battery in that case, she pleaded no contest, and adjudication was withheld.

Sounds as though she'd be the perfect girlfriend for George Zimmerman - they both seem to get into a lot of messes but get to skate with few consequences.
