It was only a matter of time before Patriot Front Associates would get nabbed for posting their decals somewhere, and it is so damn sweet that the guy who founded it is among those nabbed!

WEATHERFORD, TX – The leader of the neo-Fascist group Patriot Front was arrested Saturday along with a roommate and one other person for allegedly putting up stickers linked to the hate group on Parker County, TX property.

According to news reports, Rousseau, 21 of Grapevine, TX, Graham Jones Whitson, 29, who is listed at the same address as Rousseau, and Cameron Kathan Pruitt, 21 of Midway, Utah were reportedly spotted by two Weatherford Police detectives posting the stickers on the courthouse grounds. One of the stickers found on Pruitt read ‘Reject Poison’ with images of various drugs on it. Rousseau, according to the arrest report, also had the stickers on his person and told an officer that he was promoting Patriot Front but was not a member. Whitson also had the Patriot Front stickers on his person, and appeared to “encourage” the other subjects as they placed stickers on various items. All three were charged with criminal mischief and booked into the Parker County Jail on $500 bonds. All were released the following day, and records indicate Pruitt paid $269 in fines and court costs.

Since Rousseau broke away from Vanguard America after attending the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA almost three years ago to form Patriot Front, the group has only been a presence due to their stickers which are posted in random areas around the country. This year, they staged two rallies, one last winter in Washington, DC and a few months ago in Chicago, IL, but it takes months of planning to get the group to come together in any significant numbers and that have numbered no more than approximately 100. Their members wear masks and sunglasses to conceal their identity, but often their names are learned via doxing or arrests. It is not yet known if Pruitt or Whitson are confirmed members.
