White Supremacist Christopher Cantwell Turns Himself In

A white supremacist from Long Island who is featured in a documentary about the Charlottesville violence has reportedly turned himself in to authorities after being wanted on warrants.

According to the Washington Post, Virginia authorities announced Wednesday that Christopher Cantwell turned himself in; charges against him, the University of Virginia Police Department added, include one count of malicious bodily injury by means of a caustic substance and two counts of illegal use of tear gas, a felony, the post said.

Cantwell, the main subject of a Vice News documentary about the protests and violence in Charlottesville, is was wanted on warrants issued by police in Virginia, according to the Washington Times.

The post said a spokeperson for the Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney confirmed the warrants but initially declined to say what the warrants were for or where they were issued.

According to News 12, the fascist leader has said the warrants could be related to allegations of his pepper spraying a protestor.

Though the white supremacist now lives in New Hampshire, he is a Long Island native.

In the documentary, Cantwell says he is one of the organizers of the Charlottesville protests. He can be seen marching with torch-wielding protester son the UVA grounds, as well as marching through the streets of Charlottesville.

According to News 12, Cantwell grew up in Stony Brook and has a Suffolk County criminal record that includes weapons and DWI charges.

Cantwell runs an alt-right call-in show called "Radical Agenda," where he hosts other alt-right and racists guests. He is a self-proclaimed fascist, and, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, has called for the removal of blacks, Jews and non-white immigrants from the country. He has also called for the assassination of police officers and government officials.

In the Vice News documentary, Cantwell can be clearly seen marching and chanting, "Jews will not replace us."

Days after the Charlotesville protests, Cantwell posted a video to Youtube that went viral, in which he is seen crying about being scared to go outside of his hotel.

Cantwell has recently had nearly all of his social media profiles deactivated by the sites that run them, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
