Edmond Man Pleads No Contest to Hate-Crime Charge
An Edmond man has pleaded no contest to a hate crime.
James Brian Roper was sentenced to one year in prison after he was accused of punching a black teenager and using racial slurs.Roper was also sentenced to three years in prison for violating his probation in a 2007 case.
Prosecutors claim that Roper chased down two teenagers in June and repeatedly punched a 15-year-old. The teens told police that Roper showed them his tattoo of a swastika and said he didn't want any "gang bangers" in his neighborhood.
Roper denies targeting the teens because of their race and later told police that he only confronted them because he thought they were gang members looking for homes and cars to burglarize.
