Christopher Cantwell, White Nationalist, Surrenders to the Police
The man, Christopher Cantwell, 36, was charged with two felony counts of illegal use of tear gas
and one felony count of malicious bodily injury by means of a caustic substance, the Albemarle County prosecutor, Robert Tracci, said in a statement.
A white nationalist whose behavior at the violent gatherings this month in Charlottesville, Va., brought him notoriety after he appeared in a
widely viewed documentary was denied bond on Thursday, one day after the police said he had turned himself in to the authorities in Virginia.
The police said the warrants stemmed from a torch-lit march on university grounds the night of Aug. 11; the demonstration
preceded a large rally the next day in which a 32-year-old woman was killed after someone drove into a crowd.
In a statement released late Wednesday, the university police said they had been notified
that afternoon that Mr. Cantwell had turned himself in to the Lynchburg Police Department in Virginia.
