Nun Fined For Writing Racist Graffiti
JOLIET, Ill. (Reuters) - A nun who scrawled racist graffiti on
bathroom walls at the hospital where she worked as a chaplain
has been ordered to pay a $150 fine and perform community
service, authorities said.
Sister Dorothy Toman, 66, told police she wanted to see how the
hospital would react to graffiti such as ``white supremacy''
that she wrote on the walls of five bathrooms at Provena St.
Joseph Hospital and Medical Center in late July.
Toman, who was fired from her job ministering to patients after
she admitted to the incident, pleaded guilty to a charge of
criminal damage to property and was spared jail time.
Will County Court Judge Vincent Cerri ordered Toman to undergo
a psychological evaluation, pay the $150 fine and perform
30 hours of community service.
