Man pleads guilty to hate crime after threatening Black man and saying Paola is a 'white town'
Paola is a "white town," Colton Donner told a Black man as he threatened him with a knife on Sept. 11, 2019, in that city in east-central Kansas, federal officials say.
Donner, 27, has pleaded guilty to a racially motivated federal hate crime linked to that incident, the U.S. Justice Department announced Thursday.
It said in a news release that Donner pleaded guilty to threatening a Black man with a knife because of the man’s race, and in order to intimidate and interfere with the man’s right to fair housing.
Paola is about 80 miles southeast of Topeka.
