But Spitzer hasn't been without his own problems. Unnerved by a man “preaching the word of God” to him during a lunch hour and suspiciously eyeing a knife in a Wahoo’s Fish Taco restaurant in Foothill Ranch in 2015, Spitzer retrieved a handgun and handcuffs he carried in his car and cuffed the man. He would later argue that his decade of LAPD reserve officer experience led to his reaction. A sheriff’s deputy described it as a butter knife, but Spitzer said it was a serrated steak knife.
