Denton 'flat earth guy' issued criminal trespass after writing 'COVID hoax' outside store
A Denton police spokesperson has confirmed the man who wrote “COVID hoax” outside a Walmart on Wednesday morning was the man with pro-flat Earth signage on his car and outside his home.
A caller told police the man was writing phrases on the concrete in the parking lot and being disrespectful to guests and employees, according to a police report. A manager at the Walmart on University Drive informed police Wednesday there was also an incident not too long ago when someone wrote the phrase and employees had to clean it up.
The manager told police she has seen the man, Patrick Burke, on the property before, but the report doesn’t specify if she believes he was involved in the first incident. The report synopsis said she told officers an individual has been marking on the store’s lot without permission frequently. There’s also security footage showing a man writing something on the ground Wednesday, the report says.
According to the report, officers went to the man’s house after receiving a description of his vehicle and picture of the license plate. The vehicle was a silver hatchback with a flag, writing and stickers.
