Driver of Truck with Swastikas Scrawled on It Near DNC Building Is Kept Behind Bars in Felony Weapon

Driver of Truck with Swastikas Scrawled on It Near DNC Building Is Kept Behind Bars in Felony Weapons Case


A man recently arrested after authorities allegedly found a machete and bayonet-style knife inside a pickup truck with swastikas scrawled on it outside Democratic National Committee headquarters must stay behind bars, a D.C. judge ruled on Tuesday.

U.S. Capitol police arrested California man Donald Craighead, 44, after finding his Dodge Dakota pickup truck near the DNC building around midnight on Monday. The photographs of his vehicle show it covered with neo-Nazi and white supremacist iconography.

“This is good police work plain and simple,” Chief Tom Manger wrote in a statement on Monday. “We applaud the officers’ keen observation and the teamwork that resulted in this arrest.”




On Tuesday afternoon, D.C. Superior Court Magistrate Judge Lloyd Nolan Jr. granted the government’s request to hold Craighead, after rejecting his defense counsel’s arguments for his release. The judge said that Craighead’s record showed a prior assault charge that involved a weapon about a year ago.
