New Castle County Police are investigating a hate crime at a home in Newark, DE.

It happened sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning in the Delaplane Court community.

Wayne Parson, the 58-year-old homeowner, notified police after finding a cross made out of a pipe material on his front lawn with racial slurs painted on it.

“It said ‘I hate the n-word,’ three times,” said Parson, an African American. “At the bottom it said ‘burn in hell.’”

“It was clearly unexpected. I get along with all my neighbors.”
