A 16-year-old-boy was taken into custody
for saying on a Wal-Mart intercom system,
"Attention, Wal-mart customers: "All
Black people leave now."
"Any statements like these that can cause
harm or grave concern must be addressed
as quickly as we possibly can." Sean
Dalton, Gloucester County Prosecutor
said.
It happened at the Washington Township,
NJ Wal-Mart. Security tapes didn't
pick-up a clear physical likeness of
the suspect.
Authorities scanned sites like Facebook
and You-Tube.
They found kids "boasting" about the
offensive incident. Police were tipped
about it too.
The charges against the teen are
intimidation and harassment. He's in
his parents' custody.
A juvenile court will hear the case,
and he could receive up to a year.
Wal-Mart's intercom system has been
updated at that particular store,
according to a spokesmen.
