Antigonish Co. graffiti suspect expected back in court

A teen arrested after racist graffiti was spray-painted in Antigonish Co. is scheduled to return to court Wednesday.

Police say the suspect, 18, who can’t be identified because he was 17 when he was charged, faces a count of public incitement of hatred and four mischief counts.

They say he was released on conditions following his arrest.

His case opened with an arraignment hearing in May; it was referred to the province’s Restorative Justice program in October.

He’s expected for a status hearing in Antigonish Youth Court after his last update in January.

Racist graffiti was found on East Antigonish Education Centre/Academy, a school bus and a nearby sign in March 2018; charges were laid after those findings, along with others within the Town of Antigonish.
