Alleged Supremacist, 22, Arrested in Threat Case
A man allegedly involved with white supremacist groups has been arrested on suspicion of threatening an interracial couple in Sylmar last month, police said.
Based on descriptions from witnesses, police arrested Jeremy Preston MacDonald, 22, on Tuesday at his house in the 8800 block of Winnetka Avenue in Northridge, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Jason Lee said.
Police served a search warrant at MacDonald’s home and found “some literature and pictures [that] depicted an association with known white supremacist gangs in the Valley,” Lee said.
MacDonald, booked on suspicion of criminal and terrorist threats, is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail at the Foothill Division jail, Lee said.
On March 21, a man pointed a gun and made derogatory comments toward the couple walking near Dronfield Avenue and Hubbard Street, Lee said.
