A white supremacist leader has been arrested after allegedly threatening a boy with a weapon .
Neighbors told police they saw Brian J. Moudry, 33, run at 8 p.m. Sunday into the road in front of his house at 304 S. Reed St.
"He was holding (what looked like) a silver handgun and yelling at someone who had just ridden near his residence," Chief Fred Hayes said.
Witnesses were unable to describe the ethnicity of the boy, who fled from the armed man.
"Mr. Moudry was standing outside the doorway when officers arrived, but went inside and refused to exit the house or talk to them," Hayes said. "As police established a perimeter, the subject began yelling statements about white supremacy from inside."
Moudry had claimed to be the local leader of the Creativity Movement, a white supremacist group.
Police remained at the scene until around 9:30 p.m. Sunday before determining Moudry was not going to shoot anyone from inside his home.
"We obtained an arrest warrant for unlawful use of a weapon and took him into custody around noon Monday," Lt. Brian Dupuis said.
Moudry allowed police to search his home.
"We found the remnants of a silver bb gun inside that matched the description of the weapon witnesses saw him with," Dupuis said.
Bomb allegations
On July 17, Moudry reportedly threatened to bomb a mail truck after having trouble restarting his mail delivery.
Moudry was questioned by federal postal inspectors.
No criminal charges were filed, but he was "encouraged to behave," reports said.
