The case against Anne Clerveaux, 61, began before 11 a.m. Feb. 5 with a report to Indian River County Sheriff’s investigators that she was intoxicated and yelling foul language in the street.

Arriving deputies found Clerveaux walking her dog outside her home in the 200 block of Sixth Court Southwest.

Asked what was happening, Clerveaux pointed toward a neighbor’s home “and referred to her as ‘that redneck,’” an affidavit states.

“Clerveaux continued to rant about (the neighbor) calling her a redneck multiple times,” an affidavit states.

Redneck is a sometimes unflattering term used in describing “a white member of the Southern rural laboring class,” according to Merriam-Webster.

Mustachioed comedian Jeff Foxworthy is known for redneck jokes, such as, “If your dad walks you to school because you’re in the same grade, you might be a redneck,” and, “If you’ve ever been too drunk to fish, you might be a redneck.”

Clerveaux denied drinking, and was told to go inside and stop yelling.

Deputies again were called at 11:20 a.m., with a report that when deputies left Clerveaux went back outside and yelled obscenities.

Clerveaux reportedly yelled “redneck” and swear words and was “ranting on about a black face movement.”

Deputies left, and parked about four houses away to keep an eye on Clerveaux.

Within minutes, investigators said, Clerveaux came outside hollering. Deputies heard her several houses away.

Clerveaux, who said she had some alcohol with her coffee, was arrested on a disorderly intoxication charge.
