MT. LAUREL, N.J. - A New Jersey man who was seen on video hurling racial slurs at neighbors in a South Jersey neighborhood is expected to remain behind bars for several days after police took him into custody Monday.
Edward Mathews, 45, was escorted out of his home Monday night by Mt. Laurel police following hours of protests outside of his home.
Mathews was originally charged on Friday with bias intimidation and harassment after video of an altercation between him and some neighbors made the rounds on social media.
The video showed Mathews shouting racial slurs at the other neighbors involved during a six-minute rant. When police showed up, Mathew's behavior continued as he then directed some of his anger at the officers who were called to.
