Prosecutors say an Auburn man became enraged when he found out a neighbor was from Mexico, threatening to blow her up and chasing her around her yard with a knife.
The Seattle Times reports Travis Senner threatened to blow up his neighbor and chased her around her yard with a knife.
Senner was charged last week with the hate crime of malicious harassment and assault in the March incident.
Charging papers say Senner, who is white, walked onto the victim’s property and asked where she was from, and when she replied “Mexico,” he yelled obscenities and told her to “go back to her country” then attacked her.
