Public Controversy
Moment he punches a man
On June 6, 2017, Boucher was recorded on video that went viral on social media spitting and punching at customers after someone accidently spilled coffee on him at a Starbucks in Chicago Loop. [1]
He is heard yelling at a black / african patron, "Your children are disposable vermin !" and "Get on all fours right now! Get on all fours! Do not walk off on two legs!"[1]
Other bystanders intervened and attempted to ease the tension, but Boucher continued to hurl racial slurs at the man, “Shut up slave! Do not talk to me!”[1]
The incident spills out onto the street and goes on for several minutes.
As he starts to leave, he's approached by a black / african homeless man. [1]
He throws a single punch and sends him to the ground.
Witnesses tackled Boucher and held him down until authorities arrived.
