Clarksburg, W.Va. (AP) -- A white Clarksburg woman who pleaded guilty to violating a black teenager's civil rights has received five years of probation.
Rebecca Lowe was sentenced Tuesday by Harrison County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Bedell.
Lowe entered a plea agreement in April. She admitted donning a white sheet with the letters "KKK" and accosting the 15-year-girl on the street in October 2008. She also yelled racial slurs at the teenager.
Police say Lowe was upset over a dispute involving one of her children and the victim. The teens' dispute didn't involve race.
