Teen charged with harassment and bias intimidation in Walmart case

3/26/2010

New York City A teenager who allegedly made an announcement earlier this month ordering all black people to leave a Walmart store in Washington Township, N.J., has been charged in a similar incident at the same store just after Christmas.

The 16-year-old Atlantic County boy, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, was charged last week with harassment and bias intimidation in the March 14 incident.

Washington Township police said Thursday that the teen did the same thing Dec. 28 at the Gloucester County store. Police were not initially notified of that incident, but store officials turned over surveillance video this week.

Walmart has apologized and made changes to the store's intercom system to prevent future incidents.
