Leith Mayor’s Trial to Begin Next Week

Leith Mayor Ryan Schock goes on trial next week for burning a building once owned by white supremacist Craig Cobb.

Schock is accused of acting recklessly and not alerting authorities when the fire spread.

He maintains he was just trying to clean up the community after Cobb’s departure following his failed attempt to turn the town into an Aryan enclave.

He faces up to a year in jail and a $3,000 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor.

Officials in Antler are now preparing to burn an old building Cobb once tried to buy.

Cobb is now living near Antler, in the town of Sherwood.
