A man accused of trailing a Muslim couple in their vehicle, attempting to ram into them and shouting, "Take off the (expletive) burka -- this is America," was arraigned Monday in Multnomah County Court.
Frederick Nolan Sorrell, 49, faces three counts of second-degree intimidation stemming from the May 29 incident, according to court documents. He has been released from custody pending his next court appearance, which has yet to be scheduled.
As previously reported by The Oregonian/OregonLive, Sorrell is suspected of driving past the Muslim couple and telling them to "go back to your (expletive) country" before gesturing like he was pulling the trigger on a handgun.
A man also made a hand gesture that resembled him pulling the trigger on a gun, a Council on American-Islamic Relations said.
The Oregon committee of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a statement Sorrell allegedly trailed the couple in their vehicle for more than 20 blocks.
"We hope the arrest of this suspect will serve to deter others from committing bias-motivated crimes targeting Muslims or any other minority group," CAIR-Oregon spokesperson Zakir Khan said in the news release.
