Latest: 4 arrested in connection with violent Virginia rally
By Associated Press | ABC News | October 2, 2018


The Latest on arrests in connection with a white nationalist march and rally in Charlottesville, Virginia (all times local):

8:10PM
A member of a militant white supremacist group from California made his initial court appearance following his arrest on charges related to last year's violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Thomas Walter Gillen appeared in a California court Tuesday afternoon. He wore a blue T-shirt, chewed gum and yawned several times as his detention hearing was waived until Thursday.

Two other defendants are scheduled to appear in court later Tuesday, while a fourth is due in court Wednesday.

When Judge Jean Rosenbluth asked Gillen if he understood what the government was accusing him of, Gillen said, "For the most part, yeah."

Pressed further, Gillen responded: "I generally understand what I'm being charged with, your Honor."

Gillen is accused of traveling to Charlottesville to incite a riot and attack counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally that turned deadly.

1:15 p.m.
Four members of a militant white supremacist group from California have been arrested on charges they traveled to Virginia last year to incite a riot and attack counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally that turned deadly.

An affidavit unsealed Tuesday says the men are part of the Rise Above Movement. The affidavit says they attended a torch-lit rally and a larger gathering in downtown Charlottesville the next day where they committed "multiple acts of violence" against counterprotesters.

Court documents say the four men have been arrested and are awaiting their initial hearings. It wasn't immediately clear if they have attorneys who could comment on their behalf.

Federal prosecutors said earlier in the day that multiple arrests have been made in connection with the events of Aug. 11 and 12 last year. A news conference was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon to announce charges.
