EDGEWATER, N.J. — Police in northern New Jersey say a 14-year-old girl grabbed a supermarket microphone and announced, “All blacks leave the store.”
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.
