Chitwood released a statement Tuesday night that he is hearing more reports of white supremacists harassing people.
He went on to say, “as Volusia sheriff, I will use every legal measure in my power to crush these antisemitic racist cowards. I hope they keep their cameras rolling and get it all on video.”
