Drew Shapiro

FENTON TOWNSHIP, MI -- A Genesee County commissioner woke a Fenton Township resident early on a Saturday morning by driving his pontoon boat back and forth in front of the man's house, yelling ethnic slurs and swearing at him, a police report states.

According to the Genesee County Sheriff's Office report obtained by The Flint Journal through a Freedom of Information Act request, Commissioner Drew Shapiro, R-District 6, was spotted driving a black Remington pontoon boat, honking the horn of the boat and blasting loud music outside the man's house on Silver Lake in Fenton Township around 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 27.

When the man walked out of his house to investigate the noise, a shirtless Shapiro, holding two bottles of liquor and flanked by a friend, began to make rude gestures and swearing at the man, yelling, "F*** you, Arab," the report states.

Shapiro's friend then threatened to urinate on the man's lawn, but stopped once he saw a neighbor approaching, said Genesee County Sheriff Robert J. Pickell.

The man -- who is in a relationship with Shapiro's ex-fiancee - told police the disturbances have been an "on-going issue" with Shapiro and that he did not want the situation to escalate, according to the police report.

By the time police arrived at the scene around 9:16 a.m., Shapiro had left the man's house, Pickell said.

Shapiro, 28, declined to comment on the alleged incident.

Pickell said he has turned the case over to Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton.

This isn't the first time Shapiro's behavior has raised eyebrows in the county.

In March, Undersheriff Chris Swanson drove Shapiro home from a meeting amid concerns that he may have been drinking.

Shapiro, however, said that the situation occurred due to a mix-up in prescription drug dosage.

Commissioners became concerned at the March meeting, according to Board Chair Mark Young, after Shapiro asked a man who spoke during public comments if he ever saw the movie "Die Hard," because the man appeared to have the same name as a character in the film.

Young declined to comment on the most recent allegations involving the county commissioner.

Shapiro was elected to the District 6 Commission seat in November 2016, beating former Commissioner Tony Brown in the Republican primary.
