Harassment inquiry ends

Police in eastern Washington say they’re no longer investigating racial harassment claims made by Rachel Dolezal, the head of a local NAACP chapter whose integrity was thrown into question when her mother said she’s a white woman pretending to be black.

Dolezal has filed police complaints, saying she received hate mail at her organization’s post office box.

Spokane police, however, say it’s unlikely a letter that didn’t have a date stamp or bar code could have been placed in the box without a key. Police spokeswoman Teresa Fuller said all investigations related to racial harassment complaints by Dolezal were suspended this week.
