A notorious white supremacist movement leader is among three men who are facing criminal charges for assaulting and verbally harassing a black female protester at a Donald Trump rally in Louisville in March.

According to Louisville TV news station WDRB, Matthew Heimbach, the well-known leader of the racist and white nationalist Traditionalist Youth Network, has been issued a criminal summons to appear in Jefferson District Court. He faces charges for harassment with physical contact toward Shiya Nwanguma, one of the anti-Trump protesters at the March rally. WDRB notes the court also issued criminal summons for Alvin Bamberger, a 75-year-old Ohio resident and Korean War Veterans Association member, and Indiana resident Joseph Pryor.

As Raw Story previously reported in March, Nwanguma, a black woman and University of Louisville student, said she was kicked out of the Trump rally after being shoved and screamed at by Heimbach and other Trump supporters.
