On December 9, a group of eight individuals associated with the racist skinhead movement were arrested in Lynnwood, Washington, for allegedly assaulting and shouting racial slurs at the DJ at the Rec Room Bar. The DJ, a black man, was reportedly punched and stomped on during the altercation. Each of the eight individuals faces malicious harassment hate crime charges for their alleged role in the assault.

Northcraft of Raleigh, North Carolina; Randy Aaron Smith of Eugene, Oregon; Nathaniel L. Woodell of Woodstock, Illinois; Guy Albert Miller of Tacoma, Washington; and Vincent Bradley Nutter of Bothell, Washington.
Several of the arrested individuals are connected to the Hammerskin Nation, a violent neo-Nazi skinhead crew known for hosting an annual Martyr’s Day event in Washington, which celebrates their fallen “hero,” notorious white supremacist and terrorist Robert Jay Mathews. Mathews died in a shootout with the FBI on Whidbey Island on December 8, 1984.

He has a prior assault conviction in the state of Ohio.
