Gee, Another Hater Crime Hoax

From the New York Daily News:
The prime suspect believed to have scrawled racist graffiti on the house of a Lunenburg High School football player is well-known to the boy.
It’s his own mother.
Massachusetts police have listed Andrea Brazier, the mother of 13-year-old Isaac Phillips, as a “strong suspect” in the November hate crime, according to reports.
State and federal officials have been investigating the incident where an unknown assailant scrawled “Knights don’t need N----r” on the side of the Phillips’ home.
Phillips plays for the Lunenburg Knights football team.
Brazier had stopped helping investigators and offered several different accounts of the incident, according to a police affidavit obtained Wednesday by CBS Boston.
“Andrea just kept answering ‘OK,’ and that she wanted everything to end and that we did not understand,” Detective Jeffrey Thibodeau of the Lunenburg police said in an affidavit.
In a stunning turn of events, a police discovered spray paint cans while searching the home Tuesday, according to reports.
“Most of the leads that we have followed up throughout the investigation have led back toward the house,” Lunenburg Police Department Lt. Mike Luth told the Boston Globe.
