Charges pending against student who reported racist note
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say charges are pending against a student who reported that a racist note was shoved under her dormitory room door at Drake University in Des Moines.
University officials say two minority students reported earlier this month that racist notes were left under their dorm doors. The notes and robocalls with racist messages prompted a campus anti-racism rally Nov. 14 .
Des Moines Police Sgt. Paul Parizek (puh-REE'-zihk) said Friday the same two students reported Wednesday that a similar third note was left, but investigators determined it was not received in the manner that was reported. One of the students admitted to being responsible for the note.
Parizek says charges are pending.
