Federal agents early Thursday searched the Kosciusko County home of a man known to have connections to white supremacist organizations.
Agents served a search warrant on the Warsaw home of Thomas Metzger, according to Special Agent Kim Riddell of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The search warrant was executed without incident and no one was arrested. Riddell would not comment further.
A longtime leader in the white supremacist movement and founder of the White Aryan Resistance group, Metzger manages a racist Web site and has been affiliated with a number of hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Christian Identity movement, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
