Five Charged with Abusing Jewish Campers in Pa.; Shot Paintballs at Campers, Yelled Racial Epithets

The Cybercast News Service website reports today (July 26, 2012) that five people have been charged with terrorizing campers at a Jewish summer camp in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Authorities in Wayne County said yesterday the group of three adults and two juveniles sped through the grounds of Camp Bonim in Clinton Township in a pickup truck three times this month, shooting paintballs at campers, destroying property, and yelling anit-Semitic epithets at campers and staff members.

Facing numerous charges -- including ethnic intimidation, terroristic threats and riot -- are 18-year-old Tyler Spencer of Linden, Tenn.; 21-year-old Mark Trail of Bethany; 18-year-old Cassandra Robertson of Honesdale; and the unnamed juveniles.

Spencer had been charged earlier in a hit-and-run accident involving a camp counselor.
