Prosecutors say a former neo-Nazi leader in Texas has been arrested and
charged with a series of phony bomb threats made in Virginia.
John
C. Denton, 26, of Montgomery, Texas, was arrested Wednesday and charged
in connection with his alleged role in a conspiracy that conducted
multiple swatting events. He faces an initial appearance Wednesday
afternoon in federal court in Houston.
Prosecutors
in Alexandria, Virginia say the targets of the bogus bomb threats
included a predominantly African American church in Alexandria, an
unidentified Cabinet official living in northern Virginia, and Old
Dominion University in Norfolk.
Denton has been identified as a
former leader of a group called Atomwaffen Division, which has been
linked to multiple killings. Authorities say the group is seeking to
incite a race war.
He
is one of several alleged Atomwaffen members to face federal charges in
recent months and is the second person charged in Alexandria in
relation to the swatting calls in Virginia.
