MUSQUODOBOIT HARBOUR – Nova Scotia RCMP say a man is facing a charge of mischief for shouting hate-motivated comments at a young referee during a hockey game.
The Mounties say that on Feb. 6, officers began investigating a complaint about a hate-motivated incident at the Eastern Shore Community Centre in Musquodoboit Harbour.
Police say the referee ended the game and asked the spectator to leave.
The nature of the comments were not disclosed by police.
On Tuesday, officers arrested a 39-year-old man from East Chezzetcook, N.S., and he was later released from custody.
The accused is scheduled to appear in provincial court in Dartmouth, N.S., at a later date.
