MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - The Burlington County Prosecutors Office on Thursday filed new charges against a New Jersey man who was seen on video hurling racial slurs at neighbors in a South Jersey neighborhood last week.
Prosecutors charged 45-year-old Edward Mathews, who has been in custody since Monday, was charged with stalking, criminal mischief, weapons charges and drug possession.
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.
