Apparently, Smith was waiting for a parking space to open but the lady who was loading her car was taking too long from Smith. So he started to tell the woman to hurry up.
Another shopper saw this and intervened, police said. That is when police said Smith is alleged to have directed a racial slur towards that other person.

Police were called and an officer in Upper Southampton saw the car they stopped the car and detained Smith until Warrington officers arrived.
