Police reports say state Sen. Taylor used racial slur
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Police reports say state Sen. Lena Taylor used a racial slur against a Milwaukee bank teller that resulted in her being cited for disorderly conduct.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says the reports released Friday quote multiple witnesses who heard Taylor, who is black, call a Wells Fargo bank teller, who is also black, a "good house (N-word)."
The reports say Taylor told police she called the teller a "house negro."
The confrontation on April 6 came after a dispute over depositing an $825 check.
The newly released reports shed new details on the incident that led the Milwaukee city attorney to proceed with prosecuting Taylor for disorderly conduct.
