The noose was discovered in Tolland County at the RHAM High School located in Hebron on Friday, Nov. 18.

The noose, commonly associated with racial hatred, was found by a staff member who immediately removed the noose and alerted the school administration, District 8 School Superintendent Colin McNamara said. 

Following an investigation, including reviewing video surveillance and numerous interviews, an arrest warrant was submitted to the Willimantic Juvenile Court against a 17-year-old RHAM High School student. The student's name has not been released due to their status as a minor.

The tee, who is due to appear in juvenile court on Tuesday, Nov. 29, was charged with:

  • * Placing noose on property
  • * Second-degree breach of peace
