(Charlottesville, Va. (AP) — Prosecutors are asking a Virginia court to revoke bail for a white supremacist they say violated the terms of his release.
The Daily Progress reports that Albemarle Commonwealth’s Attorney Robert Tracci entered a motion this month to revoke 27-year-old Christopher Cantwell’s bail agreement.
Cantwell is accused of spraying counter protesters with mace or pepper spray during a deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville last August. He’s charged with illegal use of the gas. He was granted the ability to post bail in December.
Tracci says Cantwell named a victim online and on a radio show, violating his release conditions.
Tracci’s motion requests that the bail agreement be modified to prevent future harassment if it’s not revoked outright.
