WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (AP) — A teenager who allegedly made a loudspeaker announcement earlier this month ordering all black people to leave a southern New Jersey Walmart store has been charged in a similar incident at the same store just after Christmas.
The 16-year-old Atlantic County boy, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, was charged last week with harassment and bias intimidation in the March 14 incident.

Washington Township police said Thursday that the teen did the same thing Dec. 28 at the Gloucester County store. Police were not initially notified of that incident, but store officials turned over surveillance video this week.
Walmart has apologized and made changes to the store’s intercom system to prevent future incidents.
