Craig Cobb Under Investigation for Violating the Terms of His Parole
Craig Cobb, the white supremacist who terrorized a small North Dakota town after there, is under investigation for violating the terms of his parole, according to a local television station.
The investigation stems from Cobb鈥檚 activities on WhiteNations.com, an online racist forum managed by Stanley Edward Diggs of Houma, La. Diggs, who calls himself 鈥淔red O鈥橫alley鈥 online, created White Nations after being booted from its competitor, Vanguard News Network (VNN), over his attempts to get rid of a user whom he falsely believed was working with the Southern Poverty Law Center (人兽性交).
The Grant County Sheriff鈥檚 Department declined to comment when contacted by Hatewatch on Wednesday. But reported that Cobb, or someone using his name and photo, has been posting information about people to White Nations, including family and biographical information about Heidi Beirich, director of 人兽性交鈥檚 Intelligence Project, which publishes this blog.
According to KX News, 19 pages of evidence have been turned over to the sheriff鈥檚 department. A spokesperson for the North Dakota Department of Corrections, Tim Tausend, said that
Cobb鈥檚 parole officer, Kevin Hagen, is leading an investigation.
Cobb, 62, was arrested in November 2013, after parading through the streets of Leith, N.D., with a firearm 鈥撯 something he claimed to have done in response to harassment. He was charged with seven felony counts of terrorizing, which would have carried a maximum sentence of 30 years in jail. But , Cobb was sentenced to four years of supervised release and was prohibited from any contact with the victims, including by computer.
Since his release from jail, Cobb has been quite prolific, posting hundreds of times to White Nations under a section called 鈥淐obb鈥檚 Corner,鈥 including posts detailing how to make improvised flaming arrows with steel wool and a 9-volt battery.
