Charlotte’s CBS affiliate reports:
A Concord man has been arrested and charged with hate crimes after investigators say he harassed his neighbors—a Mexican family—and Black motorists for more than a year. Marian Hudak was arrested by FBI agents on Thursday. He faces two charges related to intimidating people based on their race. One incident, according to the court document, was in October 2022, when the FBI said Hudak encountered a Black man while driving in Concord.
“As they drove next to each other, Hudak yelled ‘n*****,’ ‘come here boy,’ and things about Trump,” the charging document said. A picture shows Hudak’s truck with multiple flags mounted in the truck bed, including a Confederate flag. “Throughout the encounter, [witnesses] reported that Hudak yelled slurs and threats, including statements like ‘I will kill you n*****,’ and, ‘I will shoot that Black bitch. I know where you live, and I will be back,’” the complaint said.
