(AP) A judge set bail at $1 million cash for a white supremacist accused of trying to turn the small southwestern North Dakota town of Leith into an Aryan enclave.  Sixty-two-year-old Craig Cobb is being held in the Stanton jail on seven charges of terrorizing residents. A bond hearing was held Friday in Bismarck.

Cobb’s court-appointed attorney, Ryan Heintz, asked for $50,000 bond. Judge Cynthia Feland agreed with the state’s recommendation of $1 million cash because she considers Cobb to be a flight risk.

A handcuffed Cobb appeared by video from the Mercer County Courthouse.  Justices ruled earlier this week that there was no evidence to support holding Cobb without bail.   Cobb and 29-year-old acquaintance Kynan Dutton last appeared for a bond review on Monday in Stanton. Dutton was released.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Supreme Court says a 62-year-old white supremacist who tried to turn the small southwestern North Dakota town of Leith into an Aryan enclave has a right to bond.

The  court filed documents Tuesday saying the district court should set a reasonable bond by Friday, even though two court judges had already decided to hold him without bond.

Craig Cobb is being held in the Stanton jail on seven charges of terrorizing residents of Leith while on an armed patrol of Cobb’s property in town.

The court said there’s no evidence in Cobb’s case to support no bond, a situation usually reserved for a capital offense.

Cobb follower Kynan Dutton was granted a $50,000 cash bond at a hearing Monday.
