Roanoke, VA - A white supremacist has been charged with threatening a federal juror. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Bondurant says William White was arrested Friday and charged with obstruction of justice. White is commander of the Roanoke-based American National Socialist Workers Party.
Bondurant says the charge involves threatening the foreman of a Chicago jury in the case of Matthew Hale, who was convicted in 2004 of soliciting the murder of a federal judge. Hale was the leader of the World Church of the Creator, which held similar neo-Nazi beliefs as White's organization.
White told a local newspaper that he had posted information about a juror on his Web site, Overthrow.com, but that he had made no threats. White was being held without bond on Saturday.
