RED CLOUD, Neb. -- A white supremacist who was jailed and ordered to stay away from Leith after terrorizing the town appears to be repeating his tactics in small towns in Nebraska.

Craig Cobb purchased three delinquent tax properties at a Webster County sheriff’s sale Sept. 23, and residents there are wondering why his North Dakota probation officer allowed him to make the trip.

Cobb is living in Sherwood, N.D., near Canada, while serving a four-year probation for felony terrorizing with a gun, the end of a bizarre few months when he flew Nazi flags in front of his house in Leith and painted swastikas on his trees and buildings.

4. This is rather remote
