Former sports broadcaster Warner Wolf was arrested in Florida on Thursday for defacing the sign at a private community area.

Per the official police report obtained by TMZ Sports, Wolf removed the "plantation" part of the sign from the Classics Plantation Estates neighborhood where he lives in November because he found the word offensive.

After a two-month investigation of the incident, Wolf turned himself over to police for criminal mischief and was released on $5,000 bond.
