Bismarck judge sets $1 million cash bond for white supremacist accused of terrorizing

therepublic.com BISMARCK, North Dakota — A Bismarck judge set bail at $1 million cash on Friday for a white supremacist accused of terrorizing a small southwestern North Dakota town that he wanted to transform into an Aryan enclave. Craig Cobb, 62, is being held in the Stanton jail on seven felony charges. He is accused of terrorizing residents while on an armed patrol of his property in Leith. If convicted, he could face up to 35 years in prison. The North Dakota Supreme Court ruled earlier this week that there was no evidence to support holding Cobb without bail, ruling that a reasonable bond needed to be set by Friday. Cobb, who also is wanted in Canada on a hate crime charge, moved to Leith about 1 1/2 years ago. He bought land and a house, and encouraged others with similar views to join him to create a voting majority in the community of 23 residents. But he has clashed with locals, who want him to leave. to read more: therepublic.com
