Former neo-Nazi leader William A. White was arrested by U.S. and Mexican authorities in Mexico on Friday afternoon after nearly a month on the lam, officials said.

White, 35, was wanted on a federal warrant for violating his supervised release after serving 2½ years in prison for making threats.

The fugitive was arrested in the resort town of Playa del Carmen about 3 p.m., said U.S. Marshals Service Chief Deputy Brad Sellers.

Sellers said in a news release that White “had apparently fled the country” after the May 11 warrant was issued for him.

A white supremist/neo Nazi fleeing to Mexico. I guess one changes his mind about the color of the skin- of the people you hate, when you're running from the law

Maybe instead of putting him in prison, they should strip him, put him on a plane, and drop him off in Uganda. The taxpayers would save money and the guy might actually learn something, if he makes it out alive.

After nearly a month on the run, a white supremacist convicted of threats and intimidation is back in U.S. custody.

Officials say William White of Roanoke was arrested Friday afternoon by U.S. and Mexican authorities in the Mexican resort town of Playa del Carmen.

White was wanted on a federal warrant for violating his supervised release after serving a 2 1/2-year prison sentence for making threats.

~snip~
In December 2009, a federal jury in Roanoke convicted White for intimidating a group of apartment-complex residents in Virginia Beach, and threatening a university administrator in Delaware and a bank employee in Missouri. The federal judge in the case later dismissed the jury's determination that the white supremacist had threatened Canadian human-rights lawyer Richard Warman.
