GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – A white woman who used racial slurs as she attacked a black car salesman at a western Michigan dealership has avoided jail, despite a tearful appeal from the victim for her to be given behind bars. Judge Paul Sullivan on Tuesday sentenced Shelly Hueckel of Nashville, Michigan, to two years of probation. Hueckel was convicted in December of misdemeanor assault but cleared of ethnic intimidation, a felony. “It was ethnic intimidation. I’m going to say it again: ethnic intimidation,” Smith told the judge Tuesday.
