State Police Investigating Hate Graffiti In Wicomico Co.

SALISBURY, MD – Maryland State Police are investigating the origin of racist comments found last night etched in a restroom of a commercial establishment in Wicomico County.

Shortly before 9:30 p.m. yesterday, Maryland State Police from the Salisbury Barracks responded to a bar/restaurant in the 1400-block of South Salisbury Blvd., after the business owner called to report racist comments found in the women’s restroom. Troopers responded and initiated an investigation.

The preliminary investigation indicates multiple racial epithets were scratched into bathroom stall doors/walls. The epithets were placed so they would immediately be seen upon entering the restroom.

The Maryland State Police investigation is continuing. Anyone with information about the person or persons responsible for this is urged to contact Maryland State Police at the Salisbury Barracks at 410-749-3101. Callers may remain anonymous
