Madison man charged with hate crime in November

On Nov. 28, the 20-year-old man and two other men disrupted a student organization meeting in the Humanities Building by making racist and obscene comments and threatening people in several rooms, according to UW-Madison police spokesman Marc Lovicott. The man was originally arrested on Dec. 1.

After students reported the incident, investigators identified the suspects and concluded they were not affiliated with the university. The man Lovicott identified as the primary suspect in the incident was charged with terroristic threats, disturbing the peace with the use of a dangerous weapon and two counts of disturbing the peace, with all counts citing hate crimes as an enhancer.

As part of his bail conditions, the man was barred from entering the UW-Madison campus. Another person involved received a disorderly conduct charge shortly after the incident.
