It is possible there will be more arrests stemming from the assault on a Black man in a Pittsburgh-area bar.
ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PA – Six individuals that police say are associates of the neo-Nazi group Keystone United have been arrested and charged with assaulting a Black man in a bar in Avalon, PA.
Natasha Dawn Bowers, 33, of Roaring Spring; Terrence Raymon Stockey, 40, of Beaver; Jeremy L. Ingram, 35, of Hollidaysburg; Travis Lee Cornell, 43, of Marianna; Crystal Lynn Shields, 23, of Tarentum; and James Edward Kryl, 45, of Pittsburgh’s North Side are all charged with with ethnic intimidation, criminal conspiracy and simple assault. Some of the suspects have past criminal records.
According to WPXI, the Black man was at the Jackman Inn, to drop off a card for a friend, the head chef, while they were in the back deck smoking, a group of white men and women confronted them calling him the N-word. They were eventually asked to leave by the bartender, but instead started to physically attack the Black man.
Formerly Keystone State “Skinheads”, Keystone United has yet to respond to this latest incident on their website, or on their Tumblr or Twitter accounts. The Twitter account was a replacement one for the one Twitter removed in December.
The six arrested are currently awaiting preliminary hearings. There were reportedly more involved in the assault who may be arrested as well.
