HEBRON, Conn. (WTNH) — Hebron police arrested a 17-year-old student in connection to the noose that was found at RHAM High School in Hebron. The noose was found on Nov. 18, hanging from the boy’s locker room.

Hebron police and Connecticut State Police began investigating immediately, which involved reviewing surveillance footage, conducting canvasses, and lengthy interviews, troopers said. The incident was believed to be a potential hate crime when it was discovered, officials stated.

On Wednesday, state police submitted an arrest warrant to the Willimantic Juvenile Court against a RHAM High School student. The warrant was granted, and the student is now facing charges of placing a noose on property and a breach of peace in the second degree.

Per court orders, the teen was issued a juvenile summons for his violation of Connecticut General Statutes. State police have not issued any information regarding the 17-year-old or his identity.

What an odd crime. Nobody was hurt and the noose wasn't used to hang anyone?

I think that's supposed to be an indication of racism. People seem to forget about our wild-wild west when lots of gringos were hung; and the more 'civilized' public hangings further east; and maybe that was also done in jolly-old England?

yeah that makes sense. It probably was racism.

I have no idea what the kid had on his mind about that....he could have even been practicing for his nautical class on knots ........ but, yeah, I expect that you are correct. I'm assuming that there might have been a reason the contents of his locker were being inspected. Well, unless locker inspection has become standard procedure. ??
Just sayin'..... it's not always the most obvious conclusion that people in authority jump to.

Racism is one indication. But there's several others as well. Another being whenever someone gives or leaves you a noose it's either a death threat or they're telling you to go "Go kill yourself".
