A former NFL player and current Georgia business owner was arrested after allegedly trashing his own restaurant and ice cream shop to make it look like he was the victim of a hate crime by a supporter of the president.

Edawn Coughman, 31, of Buford, was taken into custody on Sept. 13 on charges of false reporting a burglary, insurance fraud, and concealing a license plate, Gwinnett County police said in a press release.
