MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - A Mount Laurel man who was seen on video hurling racial slurs at a neighbor during a tirade will appear before a judge Wednesday morning for the first time since being charged.
Edward Mathews, 45, was originally charged with bias intimidation and harassment after video of an altercation between him and some neighbors made the rounds on social media.
The video showed Mathews shouting racial slurs at the other neighbors involved during a six-minute rant. When police showed up, Mathew's behavior continued as he then directed some of his anger at the officers who were called to the scene.
Mathews was later arrested by Mount Laurel police who said new evidence had come to light from videos of the encounter that showed him.
