A self-identified leader of the Ku Klux Klan was arrested after driving through peaceful protesters in Richmond on late Sunday afternoon, prosecutors said.
The man, Harry H. Rogers, 36, of Hanover County, has been charged with assault and battery, attempted malicious wounding and destruction of property with intent, according to online court records and prosecutors.
He is being held without bond. There were no fatalities reported as a result of the incident. One man who suffered injuries that did not appear life threatening was checked on the scene and refused further treatment, police said. The incident remains under investigation.
Commonwealth's Attorney for Henrico County Shannon Taylor said her office is investigating whether Rogers should also face hate-crime charges.
