The Collingswood juvenile allegedly committed the acts because he was drunk and angry at his girlfriend.
A Collingswood juvenile who allegedly spray-painted racist slurs across homes and cars in a traditionally black Haddon Township neighborhood will not be charged with a bias crime, according to police. “The opinion of the prosecutor’s office was that it has to be personally directed,” said Haddon Township Det. Sgt.
