Patriot Front Members Arrested on Way to Target Pride Event
Thirty-one members of the racist, neo-Nazi Patriot Front, including the group's founder, were arrested in the city after police stopped a U-Haul truck filled with the suspected would-be rioters.
The members are being charged with conspiracy to riot — a misdemeanor offense.According to White, a tipster called authorities around 1:38 p.m.
PDT to report suspicious activity. The person who provided the information told authorities that people who were dressed in similar garb had loaded into a U-Haul truck complete with shields and masks, looking "like a little army."As a result of working with the Idaho State Police, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Department, multiple SWAT teams, and the FBI, White said the police pulled over the truck ten minutes after the initial call.
A video shared on Twitter shows police approaching the U-Haul's rear gate with weapons drawn. As the door opens, a group of men wearing navy blue shirts and khakis with beige hats and white balaclavas begins to exit the truck, their hands raised.
