Top Arizona Coyotes draft pick Mitchell Miller has responded to media reports of an incident in which he admitted to bullying a Black, developmentally challenged classmate four years ago.
During the appalling incident in question — which Craig Harris and Jose M. Romero of the Arizona Republic reported in gruesome detail on Monday — Isaiah Meyer-Crothers, who has a developmental disability, was tricked into licking a piece of candy that Miller and another boy had wiped in a bathroom urinal when both him and Miller were 14 years old.
Meyer-Crothers said Miller taunted him “for years,” constantly calling him “brownie” and the “N-word,” while also repeatedly physically assaulting him while they were growing up together in Ohio.
