AN elderly man hauled away in handcuffs after Charlie Kirk was shot dead is a well-known local agitator with a decades-long history of bizarre bust-ups.
George Zinn, 71, was arrested in the frantic aftermath of the assassination of the Trump ally and influencer, 31, on Wednesday afternoon.
The white-haired political activist was seen kneeling on the ground as cops cuffed him, before being dragged through the shell-shocked crowd at the Utah Valley University Orem campus.
In the chaos, his pants dropped to his ankles and he was forced to shuffle in his boxers.
Zinn had been “overheard” appearing to confess in the panic after Kirk was hit in the neck by a single bullet — a claim that was later dismissed.
Furious onlookers mistook Zinn for the gunman, with one screaming: “how dare you, you f****g monster!”
Officers were heard on video saying: “He said he shot him, but I don’t know.”
