New Jersey teen tells blacks to leave Whole Foods

4/13/2010

Edgewater, N.J. A 14-year-old girl grabbed a microphone at an Edgewater, N.J., Whole Foods Market on Saturday and announced, "All blacks leave the store."

The case is nearly identical to what happened on two occasions at a southern New Jersey Walmart.

Edgewater police said the new case is being investigated as a possible "copycat" situation. They said they were called after the girl made the announcement over the Whole Foods Market's public-address system.

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

In the Walmart case, a 16-year-old boy faces the same charges after police said he twice ordered all blacks to leave the store.
