Court documents said Meah claimed the victim was racist.
Meah entered a nolo contendere plea on Thursday (Feb. 27), meaning he accepted his conviction as though he had entered a guilty plea but did not admit guilt.
He was charged with ethnic intimidation and four counts of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder or by strangulation.
