Arrest made at Mizzou for Man Who Sprayed The N-Word On College Statue- Who Says Racism Is Dead



A suspect was taken into custody after racial slurs were found on Mizzou's campus Saturday. The University Police Department arrested Benjamin Elliott, 18, on Saturday around 9:30 p.m.
For the second time in as many years The University of Missouri - Columbia campus has fallen victim to a hate crime during Black History Month.
Last year cotton balls were sprinkled throughout the black student building...and this year Elliot stands charged with spray painting "[n-word expletive] History Month" on a campus statue.
Elliott was arrested for Second Degree Property Damage, but enhanced penalties could be added since this can be considered a hate crime. Elliott was released to Boone County Jail on a $4,500 bond.
