Teens accused of racial beating
Two teenagers were charged as adults in what Baltimore police say was a racially motivated beating of an elderly black fisherman. Zachary Watson, 17, and Emmanual Miller, 16, told police they were with Calvin E. Lockner when he attacked 76-year-old James A. Privott, but they claimed not to have participated. All three were charged with attempted murder, armed carjacking and a dozen other crimes. Lockner, a 28-year-old white supremacist who goes by the nickname Hitler, said Watson beat up Privott. Police said Privott was punched, kicked and struck with a baseball bat.
