Police chief Lee White of Coeur d'Alene on Saturday announced the arrests of 31 members of the so-called "Patriot Front" white supremacist group, saying they were taken into custody in riot gear after a tipster reported seeing people loading up a U-Haul like "a little army."

Among those booked into jail on misdemeanor charges of conspiracy to riot included Thomas Ryan Rousseau of Texas, who the Southern Poverty Law Center has identified as the founder of Patriot Front. Chief White said that the members arrested included people from Texas, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and at least seven other states.

White also praised the person who called police to alert them, saying had the person not taken the time to report the suspicious activity, "we likely stopped a riot from happening downtown."
