Aryan Nations member with Longview ties accused of racially motivated attack
The man whose neo-Nazi recruitment meeting prompted a huge “diversity march” through Longview has been indicted by a federal grand jury in a racially motivated attack in Vancouver.
Zachary Loren Beck, 31, and Kory Boyd, 25, both of Vancouver, are accused of attacking a black man Jan. 7 at a Vancouver sports bar. They were arrested Wednesday morning and made their first appearance Wednesday afternoon at U.S. District Court in Tacoma.
The grand jury returned the indictment last week charging Beck and Boyd with conspiracy to violate civil rights and interference with a federally protected right. Beck also was charged with witness tampering.
According to the indictment, Beck told the bartender at Captain’s Sports Bar that the lone black patron at the bar “had to leave.”
