Cop Accused Of Membership In White Supremacist Group Cleared

EAST HAMPTON, CT — A local police officer accused of membership in a white supremacist organization didn't violate the town's policies, according to FOX 61. East Hampton officer Kevin P. Wilcox was allegedly part of the Proud Boys, a far-right group known for violence at political rallies.

Police Chief Dennis Woessner said Wilcox discontinued his association with the group roughly five months before the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law asked about his connections with other group members. In a letter to the civil rights group, Woessner acknowledged Wilcox had been a member of the Proud Boys and paid dues to the group, but considered claims that he's a white supremacist to be unfounded.
