A black business owner in Youngstown, Ohio said she received a threatening, racist note at her business weeks before her truck was set ablaze on Monday, according to television station WKBN.
Nicole Rhodes, who owns a beauty school, said she found a note posted on the door to the business within the last three weeks. The note read, “We don’t want you here black b***h. Don’t get burnt up in there,” according to the TV station.
Then on Monday, Rhodes’ 2006 F-150 truck went up in flames, and the fire department ruled it arson. Police had no leads on who committed the crimes, according to the station.
