More details are emerging of Flanagan's erratic behaviour. Michelle Kibodeaux, who worked with him at an insurance company call centre, said she was so frightened after one confrontation with him that she reported it to her managers. She told Associated Press that an exchange ended with Flanagan trying to grab her buy the shoulder. Another former colleague, who worked with him at a station in Tallahassee, Florida reduced female colleagues to tears. Dave Leval, who is now a sports reporter, says the woman's husband threatened to "beat the stuffing" out of Flanagan if he spoke to her in the same way again.
