Williamson County officials said they have charged four members of the Aryan Brotherhood, a white supremacist group, in connection with the kidnappings of three people who were assaulted last week in a mobile home near Leander. The assaults were not part of a robbery attempt and were not related to drugs or race, but investigators have declined to release a motive, said John Foster, a spokesman for the Williamson County sheriff's department.

Samuel Cory Sikes, 32, Anthony C. Almeida, 27, Kevin Brandon Radford, 26, and Andrew Dominick Stellitano, 25, have been charged with engaging in organized crime-aggravated kidnapping. Radford also has been charged with evading arrest, Foster said


Wow thats in my neck of the woods, pretty serious.

I thought I read somewhere that both the suspects AND the victims were part of Aryan group, or maybe competing groups? Led me to believe this was not some random incident that should scare us all, but was like many crimes where victim and perp knew each other before hand and had some problem.

Sort of like when two gangbangers shoot at each other in an urban setting, should folks living in the burbs really worry about that (other than the obvious concern about anyone murdering another human being).
