ROANOKE, Va. - Federal authorities are seeking former neo-Nazi leader William A. White in connection with a probation violation.

White is on supervised release following a 2 1/2-year prison sentence for making racially charged threats, usually by email or a website he had operated. An official with the U.S. Marshals service told The Roanoke Times) on Tuesday that White left his Rockbridge County home without his probation officer's permission.

White had been scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Roanoke on May 14 for resentencing after an appeals court ruled that the judge in the case failed to properly follow sentencing guidelines. The hearing was canceled with no explanation listed in court records.

Later in the week, the probation officer discovered that he'd left his home.
