Another NJ teen charged for racist intercom comment

EDGEWATER, N.J. (AP) - April 13, 2010

The case is similar to what happened on two occasions at a Gloucester County Wal-Mart.

In the latest incident, Edgewater police say they were called after the girl made the announcement over the Whole Foods Market's public-address system at the courtesy desk on Saturday afternoon.

The girl, whose name was not released because of her age, is charged with bias intimidation and harassment.

In the Wal-Mart incidents, a 16-year-old Atlantic County boy faces the same charges after police said he ordered all blacks to leave the Washington Township store on March 14 and just after Christmas.
