UNION SPRINGS, Alabama – An African-American man who says he was giving his wife a tour of his hometown has filed a harassment complaint with authorities claiming he was verbally assaulted at a private country club by two white males, one of whom brandished a gun during the encounter, according to a report on the WSFA Channel 12 News website.

Corpage Robinson – who says he lives in Union Springs and is building a home in Wetumpka – said he was giving his wife a tour last Thursday when he used the parking lot of the Union Springs Country Club to turn around and return to a main road when two white males in a golf cart waved him down.

Robinson said the two men in the cart were 'verbally abusive' and one pulled out a gun, though he never pointed it at Robinson. Then he said the men got off the cart and into a vehicle and followed Robinson to the town police department.

Both men declined on-camera interviews, according to WSFA, but one of the two men told the station that it was Robinson, not them, who was verbally abusive and cursed and that no one produced a weapon.

According to WSFA, the second man questioned out loud from his pickup truck if the station should report on the incident and then used his truck to peel out and throw rocks towards the reporter and his camera.
