HATE HOAX: Black Woman Arrested After Pretending To Be White KKK Member And Sending Threatening Notes
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. - A Douglasville neighborhood plagued by a series of racially charged notes left on mailboxes since last year can breathe a bit easier after police said they have made an arrest. But those notes weren?t exactly what they seemed and the suspect wasn?t who they claimed to be, investigators said.
It started around Dec. 21 when two homes reported receiving notes described by investigators as being racially motivated. The notes were dropped in the middle of the night in the mailboxes of residents in the Brookmont subdivision.
"The notes threatened to burn their houses down and kill them and said that they didn?t belong in the neighborhood," Detectives Nathan Shumaker
More notes followed for more residents in February and March for homes along Manning Drive. Then it just stopped.
