Anti-Semitic References in Strange Complaint

nccde.org

The Chief of staff for New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon is facing a strange harassment complaint containing apparent anti-Semitic references.

Radio Station WDEL reports that on two separate occasions a homeowner in Autumwood near the state line with Pennsylvania found a letter address to Gordon criticizing Dave Grimaldi who is Italian and Jewish.

Gordon spokesman Tony Prado tells WDEL that the letter read in part “Send the bad apple Grimaldi back to New York.”

The station reports that the suspect apparently believes that Gordon lives at this home but Prado and police say that Gordon have never lived there nor does he know the homeowner.
