N.J. 'Nazi Dad' Who Named Child After Hitler Arrested: Cops

A New Jersey man who drew national attention several years ago for paying homage to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, as well as naming his child after the brutal German dictator, has been arrested police said.

Heath Campbell, who was wanted on an aggravated assault charge, was arrested in Shippensburg, Pa. on Thursday, according to Holland Township police.

Campbell had been listed among Hunterdon County's Most Wanted fugitives by the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office in October.

The arrest stems from a woman's claim that Campbell, her fiancee, had assaulted her. Bethanie Zito tried to retract her statements, but police said they'd pursue the charges anyway.

Campbell is the father of at least nine children, none of whom he has custody, including Adolf Hitler Campbell. The family drew national media attention in December 2008 when they tried to have a cake inscribed with "Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler," and the New Jersey supermarket refused, according to nj.com.

Shortly after the cake incident, the children were taken from their Holland Township home by the Division of Youth and Family Services. The three older children were taken into state custody in January 2009. Their mother, Deborah Campbell, eventually gave up her rights to her children, according to the report.
