LINCOLN HEIGHTS, Ohio —

Hamilton County police are investigating after more Trinity White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan fliers were found being distributed Sunday morning.

Police said that the fliers were found within Lincoln Heights, a historically Black village that recently became the focus of national attention after neo-Nazis displayed swastikas on a nearby overpass to oncoming drivers.

The fliers were also reported by some social media users to have been found in various other parts of Ohio over the weekend as well.

Police say they were first alerted to the incident after receiving a 911 call from someone who saw the fliers being distributed Sunday morning in Lincoln Heights.

Later, as officers went to investigate, police said they found and cited William Bader, 47, for littering after he was found to be in possession of the fliers. Bader was stopped by police in Lockland after being seen leaving Lincoln Heights.

While searching his car, Bader was alleged to be in possession of a white sheet, which are commonly worn by KKK members, as well as a homemade banner that was being displayed on the Evendale overpass in the aftermath of the neo-Nazi rally. The banner bore the words "Peace and Love."

Littering is a misdemeanor in Ohio. Bader was not arrested or charged with any other crimes.

"The Sheriff's Office does not condone nor agree with hate speech that is proliferated by anyone, including Nazis and the KKK," said Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey in a statement Sunday evening to WLWT. "The Sheriff's Office remains committed to working with the residents in the Village of Lincoln Heights to ensure their safety."

Police say their interaction with Bader started at 2:14 a.m. and lasted until 3:30 a.m.

The fliers alleged to have been distributed by Bader bore the markings of the Trinity White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, one of the United States' most active remaining chapters of the modern KKK. The group is based in Dry Ridge, Kentucky, approximately 30 miles south of Cincinnati.

The group has been known to repeatedly make unannounced flier drops bearing racist language en-masse across Greater Cincinnati neighborhoods over the past few years.
