A neo-Nazi skinhead who once hung a black Ken doll with a noose around its neck on his porch has pleaded guilty to federal civil rights and firearms charges associated with the late-night firebombing of an interracial couple鈥檚 home in Arkansas.

Jason Walter Barnwell, described as the leader of a 鈥渃ombat division鈥� of the skinhead gang Blood & Honour, faces 15 years to life in prison when he is sentenced on Dec. 20.

The 37-year-old skinhead from Evening Shade, Ark., said he didn鈥檛 make a very good 鈥渄omestic terrorist鈥� when he pleaded guilty on Friday in U.S. District Court in Little Rock to one count of federal civil rights conspiracy and companion charges of use of fire during a felony and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Barnwell and four other suspects were arrested by the FBI and indicted by a grand jury for Jan. 14 firebombing of the home of an interracial couple in Hardy, Ark.聽 The incident occurred during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

The couple, a black man and a white woman, safely fled their burning home after awakening to the sound of breaking glass caused when burning Molotov cocktails were thrown through their living room window. The male victim, who ran outside, identified Barnwell, who was yelling racial slurs while looking for his lighter in the darkness, authorities said.

After accepting Barnwell鈥檚 guilty pleas, U.S. District Court Judge Bill Wilson asked the tattoo-covered skinhead what motivated the firebombing.

鈥淭he majority of my motivation would be disrespect,鈥� Barnwell responded, according to a report published in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 not to say race wasn鈥檛 a part of it.鈥�

Barnwell said he caught his hand on fire during the firebombing: 鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 make me out to be a competent domestic terrorist,鈥� he told the judge.

He has a lengthy criminal record, including a 2005 arrest in North Carolina when police found him with 400 rounds of ammunition and an assault rifle nearby. A report detailing that arrest described Barnwell as agitated and threatening to kill black people.

At an earlier detention hearing, an FBI agent testified that he saw a black Ken doll with a noose around its neck handing from Barnwell鈥檚 front porch, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

Barnwell also was linked to a May 2010 incident in Batesville, Ark., when a black man was surrounded by four men who jumped out of a car and threatened him.

When FBI agents searched Barnwell鈥檚 home following his arrest in March, they found firearms, bullets and neo-Nazi literature and paraphernalia.

Because he has at least three prior violent felony convictions, Barnwell faces a minimum mandatory term of 15 years in federal prison as an 鈥渁rmed career criminal.鈥�

Assistant U.S. Attorney John Ray White described Barnwell in court as a 鈥渉istorically devout racist鈥� who hosted a weekend beer-drinking gathering of skinheads, including two skinhead recruits, Dustin Hammond, 20, of Evening Shade, and Jake Murphy, 19, of Waldron, Ark.

At Barnwell鈥檚 direction, the four men got in a car and drove to the victims鈥� home in rural Sharp County, White told the court. Barnwell, Hammond and Murphy each threw beer bottles filled with burning gasoline and stuffed with rags into the victims鈥� home, while Dodson remained in the car, the federal prosecutor said.

Hammond and Murphy pleaded guilty in June to federal civil rights violations and each were sentenced to 54 months in prison. Another defendant, Wendy Treybig, an Evening Shade resident described by authorities as Barnwell鈥檚 girl friend, pleaded guilty in June to obstructing justice and is awaiting sentencing.

All four could be called as witnesses in the Oct. 25 trial of the only remaining defendant in case, Gary Don Dodson, 32, of Waldron, Ark., who was described by authorities as a leader of the skinhead group.
