Former neo-Nazi leader William A. White is being sought by federal authorities on a probation violation.
White, who is on supervised release following a 2½-year prison sentence for making threats, left his home in Rockbridge County without the permission of his probation officer, said Ron Donelson, a senior inspector with the U.S. Marshals Service.
"We're actively looking for him," Donelson said.
White had been scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Roanoke on May 14 for a resentencing after an appeals court ruled that the judge in his case did not properly follow sentencing guidelines.
The hearing was canceled with no explanation listed in court records. Later in the week, a probation officer stopped by White's home and found that he had left.
White is required to keep in regular contact with supervising officials and notify them when he leaves town, Donelson said.
White, who once was the self-proclaimed commander of the American National Socialist Workers Party, was convicted in Roanoke of making racially charged threats, usually by email or on a website he maintained at the time.
U.S. District Judge James Turk sentenced White in 2010 to 30 months in prison. White was released about a year ago and has been living in Rockbridge County
