UPDATE, APRIL 10, 5:21 P.M.: Orange County KKK leader William Ernest Hagen punched a homeless man on April 14, 2015, and threatened to cut his throat with a box cutter, according to Orange County Superior Court documents.

The attack happened outside Capri Bar and Grill in Orange, where Hagen had complained about the transient’s belongings being in a cart near a large trash bin. An Orange police officer testified during the trial that besides the assault, Hagen threatened to sic the Klan on the homeless gentleman. Hagen was found guilty by a jury of assault with a deadly weapon and criminal threats with a sentencing enhancement for the personal use of a deadly weapon, reports the Orange County District Attorney’s office. Hagen was taken into custody after the verdict was read and is due back at West Justice Center in Westminster for sentencing on June 16. The court documents indicate Hagen was convicted in Orange County Superior Court in December 1988 for assault with a deadly weapon, robbery and attempted robbery, with the latter count deemed a "serious felony."

ORIGINAL POST, APRIL 10, 5:35 A.M.: Orange County's Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon, who was arrested in December for allegedly stabbing and beating a man at a North Carolina Klan gathering, was popped Friday for assault with a deadly weapon in Westminster Orange in 2015, according to a source.

Officials with the Westminster Police Department could not be reached for confirmation at press time, but online records indicate 51-year-old William Ernest Hagen was being held without bail in Orange County Jail as of Sunday night.
