The student suspended from Seaholm High School for writing racist graffiti in a boys bathroom April 20 has been charged with ethnic intimidation, Oakland County prosecutors said late Tuesday.
Courtney Thomas, an 18-year-old African American student, is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in 48th District Court and has been suspended indefinitely after confessing on May 11 to what is the first in a string of racist incidents at the high school.
Judge Kimberly Small approved the warrant Tuesday after hearing evidence presented by members of the Birmingham Police Department.
