COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo — A Colorado Springs man convicted on weapons charges in federal court was allegedly planning to build a school espousing white supremacist ideology in rural Fremont County.
His wife, who now faces similar federal charges, says his plans were exaggerated in court.
Rebecca Duncan, 58, said that she and her husband were not White supremacists, but that Chad Keith would describe himself as a "national socialist." She said that allegations by a Federal Bureau of Investigation's informant about Keith starting a White-only community on his rural property in Cotopaxi were false.
"That's a lie," she said. "That's just a fabrication on someone else's part."
Keith, 42, was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for the possession of firearms by a prohibited person on Jan. 30. Keith served time previously after being convicted of being in possession of an unregistered explosive device in 2003, making him ineligible to legally possess the firearms authorities found across his two properties.
