USA Today reports that the man who drove his pick-up truck into a crowd of peaceful protesters in Richmond, Virginia over the weekend is an admitted leader of the Ku Klux Klan, according to prosecutors.
Henrico County Police identified the man as 36-year-old Harry H. Rogers of Virginia. Rogers has been charged with assault, battery, attempted malicious wounding and felony vandalism in the Sunday night incident.
Henrico Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor said in a tweet that a “cursory glance” at Rogers’ social media and his own admissions to authorities revealed that he was a leader of the white supremacist group.
Harry Rogers appeared in Henrico Court Monday morning where he agreed to receive a court-appointed attorney, according to CBS 6 News. A Henrico judge denied Rogers’ bond during Monday’s hearing.
