A recent “hate crime” near Kansas State University, which prompted action from students, has turned out to be a hoax.
According to the Kansas City Star, the Riley County Police Department was called to an apartment complex near KSU last Wednesday. When they arrived, they found a black man’s car covered in racist graffiti.
The N-word was spray painted on the car several times, along with other derogatory statements like, “die,” “whites only,” boy,” “date your own kind,” among others.
According to the Star, the car’s owner, 21-year-old Dauntarius Williams, admitted to police this week that he was responsible for the graffiti.
And despite filing a false police report, officials chose not to charge Williams for breaking the law because doing so would not “be in the best interest” of the city’s residents, according to the Star.
