COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho—Police investigating racist incidents directed toward the University of Utah’s women’s basketball team when the group was near their Idaho hotel while in town for the NCAA Tournament last month say they’ve found an audio recording in which the use of a racial slur is clearly audible.
The Coeur d’Alene Police Department said in a Wednesday post on Facebook that it is working to determine the “context and conduct” associated with the slur’s use to determine if there was a violation of law. Police said they are still reviewing evidence from the March 21 incidents, but it appears that a racial slur was used more than once.
