A Black teenager who was filmed attacking a white department store employee after claiming he used the N-word has been arrested and charged after evading police for almost a month.
Damire Canell Palmer, 18, of Mount Morris, was taken into custody on Thursday, July 9, 13 days after he was formally charged with intent to do great bodily harm in connection to assaulting a 50-year-old employee at the Macy’s in Genesee Valley Center in Flint Township, according to the Detroit News.
