NEWBURYPORT â A Lawrence man was ordered to write an apology letter to a 14-year-old Black teen after admitting a judge or jury could find him guilty of hurling a racial slur at him while walking on State Street this summer.Â
Joseph M. McManus Jr., 66, of Colonial Road was arraigned on disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace charges in mid-November in Newburyport District Court. His arraignment came roughly a month after a court clerk magistrate found there was enough probable cause to charge him with the offenses.Â
On Monday, both charges were continued without a finding for six months. In addition to writing an apology letter, McManus must stay away from the victim and all witnesses and pay $250 in fees and fines. If McManus adheres to all conditions and stay out of trouble with the law, the charges against him would be dropped after six months.Â
