Capitol Police sergeant fired in wake of review of white supremacy accusations
RICHMOND — The Division of Capitol Police announced Wednesday that former Sgt. Robert A. Stamm, accused of having “an affinity” for white supremacy symbols, “was separated from his employment with the division, effective immediately.”
Earlier this year, Antifascists of the Seven Hills, a leftist self-described militant group, posted Stamm’s name, links to social media accounts in his name and a description of his tattoos and interests they said had links to white supremacy. Stamm was placed on paid administrative leave Feb. 6, when the division began a review of a possible violation of division and state policies.
A release from the division Wednesday said that “because it is a personnel matter, the division will have no further comment regarding the review’s findings.”
Col. Anthony S. Pike, the Capitol Police chief, said in a statement, “What I can say is that this review was conducted with the dual aims of being not only fair but thorough. We have worked hard to become a fully accredited law enforcement agency, and we are committed to upholding the principles of fairness and professionalism.”
