The hotel security guard who claims former Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill assaulted him and called him the N-word during a dispute in Texas has been identified as a white man, The Post has learned.
Johnny Loomis, 61, a loss prevention officer at The Omni Hotel in Frisco, claims O’Neill made disparaging remarks and scolded him after he passed out in the hotel bar on August 23.
Security guards were helping O’Neill back up to the fifth floor when the chaos began, according to documents from the Frisco Police Department.
O’Neill, who claims to have fired the fatal shot that killed Osama bin Laden, was trying to open the hotel room door with his credit card when he allegedly “struck Johnny in the chest with the palm of his right hand.”
Then the former special operative “called Johnny a ‘fu–ing n—er,'” the police arrest warrant states. The warrant also states that Loomis is a white male.

The guard was able to escape the former SEAL Team Six member, considered among the world’s most elite fighters, and asked the hotel to call 911.
“Johnny stated he had heart surgery scheduled soon,” the warrant states.
Loomis was evaluated by medics and released. Police who arrived at the hotel took pictures of Loomis’ injuries, which left a red mark on his chest, to use as evidence.
O’Neill, who was in Texas to take part in the podcast, told police he drank “too much” alcohol and admitted he barely remembers arriving at the hotel.
“[He] stated he was upset with himself, and stated it was his fault he was being held and that he could be an ‘a-hole,'” wrote an officer who interviewed O’Neill in prison.

However, when police asked O’Neill about hitting a security guard or using the N-word, his demeanor changed.
“Robert stated he didn’t hit Johnny because he didn’t hit people; he stated he was going to strangle Johnny,” the police report reads. “Robert says Johnny is ‘full of s–t’ and believes this is a money grab.”
He also joked that he “should be robbing a luxury store because he’s going to get away with that.”

O’Neill vehemently denied that he used any racist language.
“I have served my country honorably and proudly for half my life in combat around the world, standing shoulder to shoulder with men of all races, religions and sexual orientations,” O’Neill told The Post.
“The color of a person’s skin doesn’t matter when your life is on the line. The idea that I would use racial slurs against anyone is so ridiculous, so offensive not only to myself but to all my brothers who have served and fought alongside me; I deny it vehemently.”

The police report said there were no cameras in the hallway of the hotel where the alleged attack took place.
The former SEAL came into the public eye after he took credit for firing the shot that killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden during a secret raid in 2011. O’Neill told his story in his 2017 memoir “The Operator.”

The 47-year-old was arrested and jailed last week in suburban Dallas. He was slapped with a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury and a Class C misdemeanor charge of public intoxication.
He was released from prison and celebrated his wedding anniversary over the weekend.
The alcohol-fueled incident was O’Neill’s latest run-in with the law,
In 2016, he was arrested for drunk driving in Montana. The charges were later dropped, CBS News reported.
In 2020, the outspoken vet was banned by Delta Airlines for refusing to wear a mask on board.
