In the midst of a racist tirade against his neighbor on Friday, a New Jersey man told his neighbor to "come see me" and gave out his address. By Monday, hundreds of protesters had arrived at his home, and that man had been arrested on harassment charges.
According to a Facebook post from the Mount Laurel Police Department, Edward Cagney Mathews, 45, was arrested Monday on charges of harassment and biased intimidation.
His arrest came days after a video of his confrontation with his neighbor viewed thousands of times on social media, which prompted a massive protest of hundreds of people outside of his home on Monday.
