June 2005: Racial crime again rears ugly head in Boyertown
Again, an African-American family was targeted, and again, the perpetrator was white.
However, this time the assailant was not a middle-aged, rumored former Klan member, but he was a juvenile - merely an 11-year-old boy.
The juvenile male has been referred to juvenile court by Colebrookdale District police for ethnic intimidation and criminal mischief after using motor oil and tire repair fluid to slather racial epithets on the driveway and deck of Nadiyah Gary, 35, of 1263 County Line Road, according to Det. David Guida of Colebrookdale District police.
The male lives a few houses away from Gary on County Line Road in the 1200 block, which is near Cabot Supermetals. Over three separate occasions the incidents occurred, which started in the beginning of the month.
